January is the year for the second annual national drag history month. Drag, more commonly known as "Drag Queens",if you dont already know, are men who are female illusionists. I'm a huuuuge fan of drag, but this artistic style of preformance art is critized allot by more popular media. Hence why this "history month" in my opinion was an awesome idea.
I have always had this quality of advocating things that lotts of people find either clishe or taboo. So far, I havent had any questions about my "Drag History Month" buttons on my bag, but I feel its coming. But, thats the whole purpose...soo...its all worth it. The same thing happend on the "day of silence" for gay rights last year. I love it how people know about what we're doing...then want to critisize it by asking dumb questions to get you to talk. Sometimes I wish people would just understand that there will always be things out there they wont like - and they just need to live with it.
And its not just gay rights associated things, it could be anything. You could be protesting for the rights of your fellow students and could be made fun of by it - by the people you are tyring to help. It's kind of frustrating. But....never the less, I'll keep advocating, and maybe one day we will be heard by those who refuse to listen. I never said they had to agree - but they could at least hear us out. I do for them.
