A Drag Queen is a performer, typically a man, who dresses in women's clothing and adopts exaggerated feminine characteristics for entertainment purposes. This art form often includes elements of comedy, music, and dance, and is commonly seen in venues like nightclubs and theaters. Drag queens may perform in various styles, from lip-syncing to live singing, and often use makeup and costumes to create a larger-than-life persona. The practice of drag has roots in various cultures and has gained significant popularity through events like RuPaul's Drag Race, a reality competition show that showcases the talents of drag performers. Drag queens often challenge traditional gender norms and celebrate self-expression, contributing to discussions about gender identity and LGBTQ+ rights.
