Drag as an artistic form has experienced a huge rise in popularity over the last few years. They are the "hottest thing" about drag, and media have been trying to attract them. Drag queens are not new to drag, but their history is long.
RuPaul's Drag Race format
Over the years, RuPaul's Drag Race has used a variety of formats. In 2006, the show started with a variety show format that quickly became a huge success and attracted viewers from all around the globe. But, it was not without controversy. It has been criticised for not allowing enough diversity to be represented in its winners. The show has included transgender and nonbinary women in its winners over the past few seasons.
RuPaul Charles sold the show in 2012 to VH1 making it one among the most watched reality shows. Although it has been controversial for a long time, the show's outrageous humor, references of classic soaps, as well as the interaction between contestants, have made it a cultural hit. The show is hugely popular in the USA and has inspired numerous reality television shows elsewhere.
It does not include transgender performers
While the inclusion of transgender performers in RuPaul's Drag Race marks a major moment in drag history, it has not been without controversy. Many in the LGBTQ community are uncomfortable with the inclusion. This has led to some controversy. RuPaul and Rupaul’s Drag Factory have done everything they can to change this status quo.
The current record-setting violence, rape, murder, and homicide rate for transgender individuals is alarming. According to the Equality Network in Scotland, 94% of transgender people have been discriminated against based on their gender identity. Free Pride was well aware of the problem but its exclusion from transgender performers was criticised as perpetuating divisions within the LGBT community.
Its inclusion of cisgender females
Drag race history is filled with examples of gay drag queens. These acts are entertaining to watch but they ignore drag's true significance. Drag culture has been an important force in establishing gender norms. It also helped to preserve gender identities for generations.
The inclusion of cisgender male drag performers on Drag Race has caused some controversy. Many fans criticized the show for its lack of diversity. Some viewers felt the show was not sensitive to trans issues.
Its influence over mainstream drag
Television's popularity has made drag racing a global phenomenon. This reality series was broadcast to over 70 countries. The show inspired many artists as well as drag queens. Its popularity has resulted in many art shows as well as films. The Whitney Biennial was also created. Numerous drag stars have since gone on to become famous around the world.
It is the rise in mainstream drag that has led a shift of perception about the genre. Over the years, drag performers have become more diverse. Drag performance is more accepted than ever.
