International Drag Day is a celebration of drag culture, but it’s also a reminder of the resilience and activism that drag has embodied for decades. Drag queens and kings have long been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ resistance, from the Stonewall Riots to today’s fight for equality. Under Donald Trumps administration, the drag community—and the LGBTQ+ community at large—saw targeted attacks on their rights, fromtransphobic policies to the banning of LGBTQ+ curriculum in schools. Drag is not just an art form; it’s a symbol of defiance and joy in the face of adversity. As we
celebrate drag today, let’s remember the strength of this community in holding powerful figures accountable, and let’s continue to support drag artists who use their platforms to push for change, knowing that through solidarity and resistance, we have the power to dismantle oppressive systems.
