Drag queens have influenced our culture in ways that many of us may not recognize. From creating different sayings and terminology to influencing social norms and promoting freedom of expression, drag queens have done a lot for our society. For example, RuPaul‘s Drag Race has made a long lasting cultural impact, making significant impressions on people, even if they didn’t recognize it. By being truly self-expressive in the face of cultural norms, drag queens are the forerunners pushing the boundaries of the status quo.
