Drag has been a gay man’s art for decades, but women can be queens, too. While women have always existed in the drag scene as the subject of imitation, in London, female-identified performers are taking center stage and performing in exaggerated tropes of femininity to upend conventional notions of gender.
Lady queens, however, are not yet fully accepted in the drag community; some gay men in the scene question whether those who are female-identified have the right to compete and perform next to their male counterparts. In “London’s Female Drag Queens“ Broadly explores a day in the life of three women who are reclaiming drag for themselves, redefining its heritage, and proving that drag is a genderless art form.
