Drag queens and drag kings entertain audiences in various settings, challenging traditional gender norms while using humor, satire, and social commentary to address issues like identity and sexuality. Beyond entertainment, drag serves as a platform for activism and community building, empowering individuals to embrace their authentic selves and challenging societal expectations. Overall, drag is a vibrant and multifaceted art form that celebrates self-expression and diversity.
