  1. Do you view Drag in a positive, negative, or neutral light?

Neutral. I know many GC people hate it and view it as woman-face, but I disagree. I think drag treats gender as the farce that it is. Men can wear dresses and makeup if their heart desires it, but the word "drag" acknowledges that they are still men. There's no rule against men performing in burlesque shows, unless we're to believe that burlesque and ballroom pageants are women-only activities. But then we're back to prescribing acceptable gendered behavior for each sex.

  1. Who is Drag for?

I don't know if there are any official definitions, but I consider "drag" to be any person dressing up as the opposite sex for entertainment. To me, a "drag queen" is specifically a gay man in drag as a woman.

2a. Should children be able to do perform for Drag?

Children should not be performing drag. Yeah, children do perform in dance recitals, plays, etc, but I think drag performance is more for adults.

  1. Are you interested in Drag or do you perform Drag?

Never performed. Not interested.
