I have all my life been friends with many gays, lesbians, and gays who were drag queens. I lived in Florida for a better part of my life and there are many who reside their and now living in VA, I made more friends here and you can't ask for more open minded, no judgement friends. I have seen tons of these Drag Shows, and people of every gender, race, sexual orientation, just eat this entertainment up. I have witnessed horrible acts upon some of my friends throughout the years from close minded people or those that were uncomfortable but nonetheless times are changing.
I like that the two women in the article took time to see how these drag queens were outside of performances and in everyday life, because I have some friends who do drag, that are dentists, teachers, and also one that owns his own business and you would never know just by interacting with them, that they participated in drag shows. Granted there are some more men out there that are a bit more out there and flamboyant, but a lot of the respectable drag queens in this area are professionals in their 9 to 5.
This brings to light the saying "never judge a book by its cover", because you just really never ever know and if you judge on what you see as far as a drag queen for example, you may just find that same person taking care of you at the clinic for your normal medical checkups.
