I have a few gay friends and they are all about going to gay bars and watching drag shows. I don't really get the appeal personally. Like they aren't transgendered. Seems like a mockery of them in fact? Why haven't the sjws attacked this mockery of transgendered peoples???

Let's play a different game.
It's generally seen as a good thing to break established gender norms, such as gendered clothing, among the lgbtq community; a sizeable portion of the community, however, do see it in a negative light.

There was a Scottish Pride rally that banned drag queens, but afaik that's been the only time.

Seems dumb to me honestly. But one of my friends is always blowing up his snap chat stories with the weekly drag queen shows.

Like, you're gay so you probably don't want to have sex with the drag queen in that state. Yet it's also not a real transgendered person so it's just like Halloween?

Must be a gay thing

Drag queens have the best drugs.

Also, it doesn't matter for much longer - straight people have started to enjoy shows like "lip sync battle" so the gay community is about to drop that poo poo faster than when frat dudebros started co-opting pastel polo shirts with popped collars.

You're not totally wrong, drag has come under fire from the trans community before largely for how they freely use anti-trans slurs in their shows. There's also contention that it's anti-feminine in general as it's basically a bunch of cis guys dressing up and making a mockery of femininity. On the other hand though, as mentioned it also serves as a way to break down established gender barriers and provides a space that allows total freedom of expression and experimentation. And yeah Ursula's cool so there's also that to consider.

It's essentially blackface except making fun of women. It's widely accepted because we let gay people get away with everything.

Maybe it's the other way around. Because Ursula was inspired by drag queen Divine, and Divine is fierce af.

Any members of the LGBT community who look at drag in a negative light have no idea what the queens did for the gay rights movement in the 70's.

anyone who would rather nitpick and take shots at their own side rather than fight the actually borderline evil as gently caress people oppressing them is a dumbo. Unfortunately a large % of people are dumbos, gay or straight or whatever.

Most drag dudes I've met couldn't give a gently caress about your opinion and are just trying to maximize joy out of their life without wanting to hurt anyone and in this day and age that alone is extremely refreshing.

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
Hasn't Drag been one of the primary driving forces behind Trans acceptance?

Some women have said it seems weird to them because if that's supposed to be what a woman looks like then that's crazy sexist buuuut I feel like that's not really what drag queens are going for - they know full well it is over the top.

I used to have a pot hookup who was a queen and dealt dimebags out of her bra at the bar it was pretty great.
