We interviewed five drag kings about their relationships to drag, how the art form has transformed, and what they love about it. In the words of King Molasses, drag is full of “that swag you get in the shower that nobody sees.” Drag king performances are all about playing with masculine identities: politicizing them, satirizing them, and having fun with them. Today, drag kings are pushing for space in a cis-male-dominated field. And it’s working.
