    I take it back. Drag queens are dangerous.

    In this case: to nazis. I don’t have a problem with that.

    They were rehearsing for a Christmas Charity it seems.

    Putting on Drag Performances were apparently common in the british armed forces to boost morale.

    IDK why that Context isn’t in the Title, but here it is.
