Just wondering, …
Will we one day look back on drag queens in the same way that we now look back on the Black and White Minstrels?
Is it the same or is it different? I can’t make my mind up.
Just wondering?

I think that the Drag Queen will live on for some time yet. There’s still something subversive about drag – it can still be used to ruffle the feathers of Daily Mail types.
The B&W minstrel tradition was more about providing entertainment for the Daily Mail types at the expense of a minority. The complete opposite of subversion.
