(usually a man?)

Often yes, but not always. Women occasionally dress as drag queens. The whole idea is to be absurdist, taking femininity to the extreme, being flamboyant, and gay as fuck.

It's absolutely amazing too

Accurate. Woman (or men, I guess, never seen it myself) can also be Drag Kings, which is the same idea of applying extreme flamboyance to the concept of masculinity. Things like exaggerated handlebar mustaches, very well-coifed beards, cod pieces, lip syncing to Elvis, etc. Still also supremely gay!

If a woman is dressed as a drag queen, is it sill "gay as fuck"?

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe 3 points 2 months ago

Absolutely, because drag is inherently, culturally queer. It's like putting on a Freddy Mercury costume as a straight cis dude. Even if you yourself aren't a part of the LGBT, the act itself is queer.
