the words honestly are confusing. i can admit that. out of context "drag queen" would mean nothing to me either.
as i understand it, a drag queen is someone (usually a man?) who dresses up in flamboyant clothing of the opposite gender and takes on a character, like a stage identity, and everyone's stage identity is individual to themselves. from what I've seen, the stories behind a stage identity are often as interesting as the costumes themselves, which can be very intricate and eye catching.
drag queen competitions can feature singing, dancing, showmanship, acrobatics, comedy, and are a good time, check one out if you get a chance.
Pro wrestling without quite so much machismo.
