"Lambda and the Vanderbilt GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) community have often taken criticism for focusing on the drag show and promoting a stereotype," Peebles said. "Although drag is a legitimate art form and should be respected as such, I decided to begin the tradition of the Rainbow ReVU in order to publicize all aspects of the GLBT community – not just the drag show. Drag is a rejection of the cultural appeal for assimilation, but the GLBT community is a rich, vibrant, and certainly important culture that has so much more to contribute than just the art of drag."
