Happy International Drag Day (check out the image description for more information - click the bottom left of the image where it says "alt") 🏳️🌈
ALT Happy International Drag Day! It is important to discuss drag - because of its importance to culture and art. A Drag Queen/King is a person who dresses as another gender as a means of performance or entertainment. Not all Drag performers are LGBTQ , and may have different gender and sexual identities - but they are an important part of the LGBTQ community. Many drag performers were a part of the Stonewall Riots - which was instrumental to the LGBTQ rights movement. 🏳️🌈
