I have to agree with susan_mj. And one has to wonder if ANY of the people who agree with the OP even know any drag queens I do, they are some of mine and my husbands closest and dearest friends. They love this movie as much as I do and think it's spot on. Some people just need to argue or put movies down just because THEY don't like them, not because their argument has substance.

apparently some people believe the 'rules' of drag queen life were supposed to be obeyed by the movie. I have no idea what the 'rules' are but we loved the movie. A lot of fun and mostly good feelings with little hatred and violence. The gay men I have known are very nice to women, so their being supportive of the women in town was not weird to me. Good movie all the way around and very far from a cliche. Good writing and many good characters.

They were in a small town where people thought they were women. It was best to keep up the look. Also it seemed that they didn't just dress in Drag for the competition but considered it a way of life. To be a Drag Queen was more than simply putting on the costume. Also, sho is to say that Transvestites or Transsexuals can't also be Drag Queens?

Well, most transvestites are heterosexual, often married. These characters would appear to be gay 'draq queens'. Their is a line in the movie where one of the characters describe the difference.
Most transgender people I know who have donned 'draq' for extended periods of time, are preparing for gender reassignment surgery. This doesn't appear to be the case here, but that may have been a change made for the benefit of a story. -

It's just an assumption on my part, but I always figured they were fine with being men, but they loved to wear what society considers women's clothing, and so they wore it all of the time to go along with their fabulous, larger-than-life personalities.
