  Drag queen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drag is a part of Western gay culture - drag queens participated at the Stonewall riots in June 27, 1969 in New York, and drag shows are traditional at pride parades.
Most drag queens perform for fulfillment as a hobby, a profession, or an art form; as a way to be in the spotlight; or as a road to local or wider fame.
"Drag Queen" usually connotes cross-dressing for the purpose of entertainment or performance and is not usually used to describe those who cross-dress for the fulfillment of transvestic fetishishes alone, or whose cross-dressing is primarily a part of a private sexual activity or identity.

 Drag (clothing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drag in its broadest sense means a costume or outfit that carries symbolic significance, but usually refers to the clothing associated with one gender role when worn by a person of the other gender.
"Drag" is too casual and culturally freighted a term to be used for the cross-dressing elements in shamanism, but there is a long history of drag in the performing arts, spanning a wide range of cultural as well as artistic traditions.
Drag queens (first use in print, 1941) are usually, but not exclusively, gay men who dress in drag, either as part of a performance or for personal fulfillment.

Specifically, I will examine the highly visible, deviant character of the "drag queen" as an angelic messenger/catalyst capable of effecting change in the moral precepts and practices of "everyday, middle Americans." I will argue that the persona of the drag queen is particularly well suited to the angelic tasks of messenger, guardian, and miracle worker.
All three drag queens are depicted as having certain angelic qualities; however it is Vida Boheme, the film's main character, who exhibits those characteristics most prominently.
It is she who undertakes the greatest work in transforming others' lives, from providing encouragement in the development of the other two drag queens to enabling her small-town heterosexual friend Carol Ann to assert her autonomy in an abusive marital relationship.
