Protagonists in the LGBT struggles, drag queens have constantly lived a historical erasure, as a result of the structural prejudice that involves, even, the own LGBT community. However, at the same time, the drag culture lives a moment of strong media presence raised by the popularization of the American program RuPaul’s Drag Race. Taking this into account, this article aims to elaborate an understanding of the historical path that allowed the construction of the drag culture as we understand it contemporaneously. In addition, it seeks to situate these subjects as important in LGBT world history, noting their presence, also, in Brazilian culture and media.
