Not sure you get to keep Priscilla if you don't like drag?! It's about a queen! It literally is drag, she's the most famous drag character!
Sort of joking but it's actually very scary people are so dismissive of drag but seemingly haven't been to shows, met queens, seen any documentaries or other materials. Not just about where drag came from but what it means now. On principle, subverting feminine norms and not sending us up isn't hurtful to us. Remember most shows are attended by gay guys and women; and the queens know gay culture sells so their reference points are gay culture and gay men, not straight women. I genuinely don't think I've been to a show that even mentioned straight women. And unlike some men, queens don't push their ideals on us - the lack of sexual attraction helps!
And yet straight culture has taken a lot of what drag made. So much you know of theatre and musicals comes from drag - all female pop stars steal from drag. Ridiculously the contouring trend was taken from the beauty queens - people make big big money off stealing drag ideas and popularising it, making it straight-acceptable. Easy example again - the producers of a show in America called Lip Sync Battle have readily admitted to this, they took the idea from drag shows. It's campy and fun, but made safe and straight friendly.
I'm not going to get into a debate as to who is generally worse off, straight women or gay men. It's case by case. But these gay man have no privileges - you don't like them, 90% of straight men don't like them, gay people are often embarrassed by that kitschy side of things. Crime against drag queens is exceptionally high, even in London. They're an inconvenience against the misogynistic ideals we're fed, but you want to label them only as men and therefore a threat. You're editing our their entire gay identity so you can say they're privileged, and it's just not true. Gay people aren't even safe in London, neve mind if they're men dressed in heels.
Some posters here have now named some dozen or more queens. I've linked to videos showing what they're like out of drag so you can see them as "human". You have a link to a seminal documentary - watch it. I'm not sure any of you have seen a show, know queens or the different categories of drag even.
You get the benefits of their culture, but you don't want to know the queens themselves and you want to claim they're privileged but you don't want to know their lives.
The posters here who are supportive of drag - we're not trying to win internet points, or trendy points. It's genuinely genuinely an incredibly supportive, empathetic, creative, subversive, "stick it to the patriarchy" culture. It's energetic and sassy, and yes can be crass - or it can be high fashion, it can be clever and witty, it has attitude and is full of very resilient characters. The latest winner of the Rupaul show (spoiler) is a Fulbright scholar who is incredibly gender-issue sensitive.
