I imagine Dame Edna as a female impersonator.

Not a "Drag Queen".

Yep. Barrie Humphries does other impersonations such as Les.

He's more a comedian, entertainer than a 'queen'. 

---

I don't think he professes to be a Queen, only a Dame.

Oh brother - there you go .

Dame Edna - is just not dressing in women's clothing - he is dressing in sequins & totally ' drag '.

HE IS NOT GAY.

So what on earth made anyone jump to the conclusion - the library readers - were gay. ????

Yes all this avoidance and cryptic stuff is very telling

This is interesting..

Only if it's done in a public place. Most boys grow out of it once they're through adolescence.

What could you possibly mean by that, She-el?

I mean really??  (oops i'm wearing a female smiley)

A drag queen is a person, usually male, who uses drag clothing and makeup to imitate and often exaggerate female gender signifiers and gender roles for entertainment purposes. Historically, most drag queens have been men dressing as women. In modern times, drag queens are associated with gay men and gay culture but queens can be of any gender and sexual identity.

Another term for a drag queen is female impersonator.

If you didn't understand it, Joz, then relax, you probably have nothing to worry about.  (gender neutral smiley)
