The essence of drag is that it is a creative act, a potent and individualistic method of self-expression. In addition, many performers believe it was responsible for giving them their voice. Some people use it as a tool to investigate and express their sexuality and gender identity. Others believe that wearing drag helps them accept who they are.

Despite what the organizers of these events would have people believe, nothing about them is appropriate for families. These are elevated versions of strip shows, and they give your children a prime viewing position.
