Drag king

There have been many research studies on the topic of LGBT characters in media, but I decided to make my study unique by studying how they are understood by a certain cultural group.

reminded me of the “The Drag Queen and the Mummy” reading, where Dorian Corey stated “When I grew up, of course, you know, black stars were stigmatized. Nobody wanted to look like Lena Home. Everybody wanted to look like Marilyn Monroe." (Conlon, p.138) What I witnessed did not remind me of this quote because it was an example of it, but because it was the opposite, but in a negative way.

Its tradition has been carried on for generations through entertainment and the arts, dating back to Shakespeare and beyond to Ancient Greece. In layman’s terms, drag could be described as the art of a man dressing as a woman for entertainment value. As this cultural phenomenon aged, so did it’s language.

In this new day and age, drag culture is becoming more relevant in today’s media, specifically drag queen culture. Queens like Alaska, Aja, Courtney Act, and Bob the Drag Queen have been dominating the media. For example, Trixie Mattel landed a guest appearance in season six of American Horror Story and Adore Delano’s album The After Party had reached #15 in March of 2016 on the iTunes charts. Even older drag queens such as Lady Bunny and Divine are getting more recognition as modern media…
