You don’t only give LGBTQ people drag makeovers, but you also included straight locals, too. Why is that?Drag is for everyone. I think that’s kind of the message too, but it’s also more about, versus the drag part, it’s more about involving everyone in the community, basically showing how we’re all related in our issues and the way we process them.
