If the author of Androphilia is wrong about the current social construction of gayness being inseparable from gender-bending effeminacy, how to explain the ubiquity of drag queens throughout gaydom?
I've thought this about the way the drag stuff is usually positioned at the end of gay events, as a finale. Pride parades, various parties, even (oddly) leather competitions. It's like how Thankgiving day parades end with the float with Santa Claus. Why set things up this way if you _don't_ really want to equate gay with effeminacy?
