Drag Rupaul

Drag Race has been a favorite show of mine for years, it taught me about the levels of expression, identity, creativity and love. The fashion, makeup, confidence and friendships come on the show and catwalk on the runway. It’s so engaging to envision being one of those queens getting the chance to showcase their talents and show the world their dreams. The show is inspiring and informative as it also gets into the ongoing battles of being a drag queen. The show allows a platform for drag queens to not only showcase their talents but to speak about the trauma the LGBTQ+ community has been struggling with for years andyears. Lately, drag has been dragged through the mud. In the political scene, Drag has been belittled and mocked to be seen as a “threat” to society whereas there message of expression and loved should truly be accepted as the world can be so negative. For me personally Drag has given me the confidence to always have the passion of expression and truly helped me understand the importance of representation ecspecially in this society, it can be so powerful. My goal for this magazine is to truthfully show the beauty of drag and the reality as well. The media and political side of the art is to this day being picked apart and belittled, although I cant stop it, I chose to inform others about it.
