When Drag Queens Were King

With the conflicts about LGBTQIA+, it is fascinating to look back at the history of gays in American history. Once, not only accepted but widely celebrated, drag was a prominent face in the entertainment industry.

During the Shakespearean period, in the late 16th century and early 17th century, women were not permitted to perform on the stage. Men played the female roles. While this wasn’t exactly “drag”, it’s possible gay men took advantage of the opportunity to express their feminine sides.

Originally, drag was not only applied to men performing while dressed as women but, any performer dressed in costumes other than their own gender. In fact, the first recorded drag contest and “ball” in America took place in 1867! Men and women performed in Harlem, New York. There were drag queens and drag kings. Notable during the 1880’s and 1890’s was William Dorsey Swann. Known as the Queen of Drag, Dorsey was more than just a drag queen. An African American, born into slavery, was known for holding secret drag balls. The “Queen of Drag”, Swann, is believed to be the first person in the United States to lead a gay resistance. He held secret drag balls in Washington, DC. One part of the drag balls included a competition known as a “cakewalk”, originally held on plantations by slaves. Couples would dance in precise steps and formation. It is believed to have been a way to subtly make fun of the formal white dances pre and post emancipation. As dance contests, the winners were awarded with cakes!

The Jazz Age (from 1920 - early 1930’s) in large cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco saw the popularity of drag performers rise. Minstrel shows, vaudeville, and burlesque provided drag entertainment. Unlike many drag performers, Jean (Gene) Malin was not trying to impersonate a woman. During Prohibition, the days of the “pansy craze”, Malin was openly gay and proud of it. Described as flamboyant and effeminate, he entertained audiences with a wonderful sense of humor. At six feet tall and two hundred pounds, Malin had a lisp that delighted his fans. He was capable of defending himself when needed. He performed in high end nightclubs and was featured in films and on Broadway.

In 1920 Drag Balls and contests were so popular they were even represented in film. Men were referred to as “pansies” or “sissies” and were often portrayed as clothing designers or tailors, hairdressers, or choreographers and dancers. Flamboyant and effeminate, they added humor to films. Women were portrayed as more masculine and dressed in male fashions.

There were actors and actresses who were known to be homosexual, if not to the general public, usually within their professional circles. In 1930’s, Marlene Dietrich, who made no secret of her bisexuality, had the first passionate same sex kiss in a film. However, that wasn’t the first same sex kiss in film. In 1922, Cecil B. DeMille directed a silent movie l, “Manslaughter”, that included an orgy. Although the first same sex kiss has been attributed to the later film, “Wings” in 1927, it was the earlier silent movie that broke the mold.

Drag has once again become popular in America with shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race. On the other hand, the country is in turmoil. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual+ (LGBTQIA+) community is already beginning to feel the change in the air, from the White House to every house, apartment, mobile home, hotel, or tent. The president has already signed several executive orders that will negatively impact LGBTQIA+ communities across the country. We can’t allow America to return to days of the Hays Code. We’ve too far to allow it to slip away.

A Thanksgiving to remember

It was Thanksgiving in Milford and everyone was getting ready for Thanksgiving, even the lupine family already decorated far-fang Manor for Thanksgiving, everybody was excited including Jacqulyn and flashart, they were very excited because Jacqulyn's family gets to come over and flashart's family gets to come over as well well his mother and father get to come over the rest of his family mostly his brother and nieces and nephew and his son and daughter will be there too including his oldest daughter Rachel will be there too with her boyfriend and his band, when everybody arrives and the place was set and the food was set on the table everybody began to fill their plates they said Grace and begin to eat and have conversations that doesn't involve politics when dinner was over everybody began to play a few games while Rachel and her boyfriend's band played music everybody was having a wonderful time one night came and the full moon was out everybody went outside and transform into wolves and had a wonderful time together when the fun was over everyone went home and said their goodbyes and it was really a good Thanksgiving that day, Jacqulyn was cuddling with her husband in their room watching some TV when Abby came in and asked them to read her story they both looked at each other and smiled happily and agreed when they were reading all the kids came in to their room and asked if they could join they of course agreed and everybody was listening to the story an hour later Abby and her siblings were all in their bed sleeping while Jacqulyn and her husband were in bed asleep. The next day everyone woke up to have a morning breakfast and since Thanksgiving was over they decided to go to work well the kids went to school while the adults went to work everything was going great until something bad happened somebody stole an old lady's purse while the bandit was running with the purse, Jacqulyn so what happened and ran towards the bandit luckily she caught him and tied him up and she grabbed the purse and gave it to the old lady the old lady thanked her while pinching her cheek and thinking her and the old lady walked away while being still happy that she got her purse back and Jacqulyn save the Day everybody saw what happened and somebody videoed the whole thing of course everybody saw what happened on the video and everybody called Jacqulyn a hero of course Flashart saw the video and asked his wife what was going on she explained that somebody stole an old ladies purse and she had to stop the crook but she didn't realize that somebody was filming her but she was sure that this will all blow over unfortunately it did not and through weeks and weeks of Jacqulyn being called the cities hero she started helping out a lot of people more and more and of course it all blew over as she said it did she was grateful that it was all done but she didn't mind being a hero so she asked her husband if she could help he said he would have to think about it but he wouldn't mind if she would help out in the night patrol and thus when he said yes she was happy she was happy to help her husband out and they all had a wonderful time saving people's lives at night.

The end sorry if this took so long I know everybody has been waiting for this so I will be writing more episodes of DreamWorks and Disney men x reader so don't worry it'll come out eventually

“Se l’arte esercitasse ancora

la magia della propria sparizione!

Invece continua a fingere

la propria sparizione

mentre è già scomparsa.”

Flashart: Always treat your kite like you treat your woman.

The fact these two never met makes me feel robbed. It would either have been glorious or an absolute disaster.
