Underneath all that makeup, most drag queens are gay men who adore wearing fabulous, outrageous costumes. Even with all the love they seem to be getting these days, it’s still very hard being a creature of the night.
Listen as we talk with Jezzy about finding your niche as a nightclub performer, why it takes a village to be a fierce queen and how to successfully stalk Lady Gaga.

As a drag king I find it harder to find gigs as in a queens’ world. I have found difficulty in many cities and states. I have been turned down just because of my biological gender. I have even offered to preform “gay” numbers to accommodate the mostly gay male clientele. It’s a boys’ world and no bois’ allowed. I am very respectful for queens (as in a previous post) and I am always correct in pronouns and using sweetheart, sweetie, honey and still I get shut out.
One reason I really love drag is getting a group of strangers to focus and follow my lead, incredibly empowering. I am more confident as “Randy”.
Sorry for the very late post. Late post is better than no post. Always enjoy the show and could relate a lot with this one.
