Do you still want drag with that?

Take drag. Just as you can't have a motor show without bikini-clad babes, it seems you can't have a gay event without drag queens.

Once drag queens were the standard-bearers at events like Stonewall. Once they said what others could not or would not say. But is that still the case?

By now everyone has worked out that 'gay male' does not equal 'pop on a frock at the drop of a handbag'. Straight men are as likely to be effeminate as gay men. And that 'gay event' does not mean 'Straights: venture in at your peril'.
Surely the once unsayable is now sayable by anyone, with or without a frock?
