You are the dancing queen

In my research on paper dolls I came across the magazine 

DRAG Queens: A Magazine about the Transvestite Vol. 1 No. 2 (1971) 

 

It is curious to read the editorial that brings a message about the discrimination of other members of the same community in relation to drag queens... despite the fight for equal rights. 

“Homosexual organizations feel that drag is the ‘tired’ stereotype of the gay boy and they also don’t want to be identified with the drag queen.” 

“We are all homosexuals in the public eye and we should come together and stop fighting and feeling superior to each other, because who else can we turn to?” 

Each person has the right to be who they are and to express themselves in the way they wish, without suffering discrimination, especially from other members of the same community. 

I share with you the paper doll that was published in this issue of Drag queens magazine, which I recognize from other publications and which I have also seen used in street art. This version features, in addition to the leather look, a long dress, three wigs and accessories… for softer nights!
