When a gay men dresses in drag, is he doing it as a form of self-expression, as part of a performance, as a persona, or for sexual reasons? Gay men are normally attracted to other men; does putting on a dress and makeup change things? And if two men dressed as women hook up, do they count as gays - or as some snide gays deride, as lesbians?
In the gay world, drag queens are expected to go out with more masculine-appearing men. But when that expectation is violated, it is sometimes met with derision or surprise. Still, some drag queens are attracted to other drag queens. And these "ki kis" (pronounced kai kai) - defined by Urban Dictionary as drag queens having sex - are often alluded to with an amused or slightly negative tone.
