how did drag queen start?

Answer 1

In early England the King would dress up as Queen at Party's. That's where the word Queen came from. And the beginning of Drag.

Answer 2

In the 50s, Kids did a lot of "Drag Racing" on Weekend nites, and they used to use a "Teen-Queen" (No, a FEMALE!) to start these races, usually by dropping or waving a scarf or handkerchief... After a while, girls discovered boys & vice-versa, so there were, consequently, NO girls left to be "Starters".
However, after the guys determined that they actually NEEDED someone to start the race, they were forced to take other measures: They picked the most grody, ugly, and un-popular boy available, dressed him in sexy women's clothing to simulate the long-gone women, and put a checkered flag in his hand.
THUS was born the legendary "Drag Queen"!!!

Answer 3

I don't know, but I can tell you where the word "drag" comes from. In Shakespeare's time, women were not permitted to act on stage. All women's parts were played by beardless young boys. When a "woman" came on the stage, the stage direction read "DRessed As Girl" -- DRAG.

For an interesting look at a male actor playing female roles at a later period in history (the Restoration in the late 1600s), see the film "Stage Beauty", starring Billy Crudup.

For a look at the same phenomenon in Japan, see the film "M Butterfly" starring Jeremy Irons.
