Let’s define drag

The title of this thread should be, "Let's REDEFINE drag."

 

It's only a skirt if ye wear something oonder it....

 

Well, no one has come up with a definition so far

 

My kilts are safe!

 

You know that statement is so outrageously incorrect that I am not even going to bother researching the facts

 

Denial of facts is a common thing with the left.

 

Multiple people have given you the real definition. You're just ignoring the actual definition because you want to redefine it into something stupid that only you believe. I don't believe there is any other person on the planet who believes kilts have anything to do with drag queens.

 

That is because the “Minstrels” had a bad history associated with racial inequality. Drag is making fun of outrageousness and societies expectations

 

Missed it and not going to bother looking up what essentially will be “whatever I say it is”

 

No they're not. You've clearly never been to a drag show.

This may be hard for you to take but the people performing are men.

Do they dress up like ridiculous women and act like ridiculous women in a caricature to mock them.

That's the reality that's what it's always been and that's what it is now.

There's no social commentary that's kind of a hipster justification for liking something that isn't cool

 

Lols! You are talking to someone from Australia

 

Is that supposed to mean something?

If you don't know the first thing about what drag is then it clearly doesn't mean anything.

That thumbnail on that video you posted is absolutely mockery of women.

 

Mate WE just about led the world with acceptance of the Gay and Lesbian community and it started with the Sydney Mardi Gras in 1978!

LGBTQ is more accepted here than there even though you have had traditional area of strong acceptance here it is just part of who people are

Oh! And “Pricilla” was a ground breaking film that won a multitude of awards that to this day is widely celebrated here although apparently Americans don’t get the humour

 

Drag is a special closed course in a straight line where modified vehicles with an insane amount of horsepower go from 0 to as fast as they can in the shortest distance.

 

What if back in those early days the gay and queer folks consisted of Aboriginal Australians? Were they embraced with open arms?

 

What does this have to do with drag? Drag isn't a sexuality you know that right?

 

1978 was 11 years AFTER the first indigenous referendum (we are about to have another to establish a national “voice” for indigenous people). We have come a long long way since 1967

 

Lols! If you had watched my clip of Pricilla you would realise that the three main parts were played by cis straight males and it is still hilarious!

 

Lots to do with LGBT people?

You were talking about Australia the accepting of LGBT.

What do straight males have to do with LGBT?

 

Let's not.

 

Watch the movie. The Adventures of Pricilla Queen of the Desert. It handles LGBTQ issues in a hilarious but sensitive way and is about 2 drag queens and a trans woman travelling and performing drag in Outback Australia

You might learn something

 

Now watching a movie like that would be a drag.

 

What's this about a movie now?

 

Sorry these days it can be any of the above. Oh and thanks for the picture of the Pope's swiss guard in the dress uniform they've worn since the fourteenth or fifteenth century.

 

Weeeeellllll, if you were in a plane crash your chances of dying are in fact pretty high.

Of course your chances of being in a plane crash are astronomically low.
