Dressed in a pink drag costume, a performer poses for a photo during a parade. The term “drag” refers to the act of extravagantly dressing and acting as a gender different than one’s own, often in a performance-based environment. Drag may include the impersonation of a famous individual, or dancing or singing as part of an act. Although drag has been linked to Ancient Greece and William Shakepspeare’s work and has been a historic place of community for queer folks, it is currently under surveillance as state lawmakers across the nation continue to push bans and regulations.
