Sissy That Protest: The Political Power of Drag
Drag has been used as a form of protest for decades with drag queen and activist Marsha P. Johnson taking a prominent role in the Stonewall Riots of 1969. Ever since, drag has been a big middle finger up to a world obsessed with masculinity and male domination. It is all about challenging the well-established gender stereotypes that exist in our society and celebrating strong women who deserve more respect, recognition and representation. Drag is something that is sacred to the LGBTQ community, but people often overlook its power in a political and societal context.
