kvue abc ^ | Jan. 27, 2019 | Drew Knight

Amidst live music, tech startups and Sixth Street revelry, there's another bustling community thriving in the ATX. With a little boost from the mainstream success of "RuPaul's Drag Race," Austin has become a hot spot for another generation of artistry -- drag queens. Now, fans of the art form are hitting the streets in droves to become a part of the Austin drag community. From nightly shows on Fourth Street and Red River all the way to Brunch with the "Boys" at Alamo Drafthouse, now it seems you can find a drag show on any given day. To help you find one that suits your fancy, KVUE sat down with seven local artists to dish about our booming drag community. So grab your ones -- or your twenties -- it's time to spill the tea.

The drag queens have been part of 4th street and 6th street for at least 3 decades.

But to GayBC this is “newsworthy”.

Anybody that can stomach a drag queen show must be a complete faggot.

Sometimes it seems that Red China would be doing America a huge favor by nuking a bunch of our cities.

“for another generation of artistry — drag queens”

Well, I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art was crap, so maybe I let this go.

One of many reasons normal people don’t go to Austin.

America’s blue cities = Ancient Rome/ Weimar / late 3rd Republic France

They proudly celebrate their decadence and degeneracy.

Sick. Austin has always been a little more relaxed than the rest of the state. Someone in the 70s might smoke weed, there was a big music scene, and a naked swimming hole outside of town. But now it has gone full counterculture pervert and socialist like San Fran.

The hell with that national embarrassment for Texas.

Artistry? Well,I guess the pervert community needs its “art” too.Rumor has it that the Podesta Brothers are fond of a type of “art” that features naked young boys.

Drag is nothing more than Gay F@gg0ts mocking women because they envy them taking some of their potential mates away from them.

Change My Mind!

Some friends of ours just returned from a cruise on the Norwegian Line....
...they were disgusted....
.....they went to the floor show ( which on every ship had been tame, family friendly) and were surprised by a Drag Queen show!!!
