    Why are you defining drag shows as inherently sexually explicit? If a man wears a flowing dress with bloomers underneath, is it sexually explicit?

      You know that’s not what drag shows are. I’ve been to 3 different ones (with a group of a friends, not on my own) and every single one had some serious sexual undertones. The default means of “tipping” was tucking dollar bills down the drag queen’s shirt, or simply tossing it at them like a stripper. They twerked with very revealing clothing on, etc. I wish you would just be honest about what drag shows actually consist of most of the time. Of course there are outliers but I think the history of drag shows clearly show demonstrate the inherent sexual nature of it all.
