    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.

      Titles can only be so long, and making a title inherently involves compromise between conciseness and detail.
