Drag queen flag.
Alternative drag queen flag.
Drag Queens (also called female impersonators) are individuals who cross dress in feminine clothing, often to an exaggerated degree, in order to perform and entertain others. Drag Queens are often associated with the culture of gay men, although not all Drag Queens identify as such.[1]
In former times, performing as a Drag Queen was one of the most recognised forms of transfemininity. Since the invention of more gender identity terms, many who formerly considered themselves Drag Queens now identify as trans women, genderqueer and/or non-binary.
