Thread Name: What is drag?
Subject: What is drag?
Went to a drag show. Great music, but the performers were, actually, women.

To me, that's not drag, that's burlesque.

It was still great fun, and I don't *care* - but I am curious.

Is it drag if it isn't men dressed as women?

Also am hearing people compare drag to blackface. No comparison, imo. Whites dressed in blackface to perform black music in white clubs where blacks were banned. Women are not banned from dressing as women, so men doing it is not the same.

How many ways am I wrong?
