Opis

This is the story of drag kings and queens at a gay bar in Cleveland, Ohio. Through an ethnography of their weekly shows, Katie Horowitz provides a window into the perennial rift between lesbians and gay men and introduces interperformance, a new framework for thinking about identity formation and community building.
