I always thought Milton Berle was the first drag queen,,,
To: DallasBiff
Forget that, give us Topo Giogio instead.

You are right to point out that this was done for laughs…. Entertainment. Point out that most were comedians and not transgender.
What we are seeing today is drag being used to push transgender mutilation of kids.

and the mexicans that would throw the kid around with their feet while laying on their backs

Back then, this was performance art or people being silly in good fun.
Today, completely different. Completely.

Milton Berle and Johnathan Winters both had ‘skits’ in skirts in various comedy venues.
It was rather common for comedians.
And, there was the Tuna, TX comedy play from the 1990s.

Nah, He was pretending to be loony so they would give him a discharge and he could get back to Toledo.
As I remember he married a local girl.

Went to see “Frankie Goes to Hollywood” live at the Roxy (NYC) back in the 80s. The warm-up act was a string of female impersonators. They were awesome - really nailed performances of Cher, Bette Midler, etc. Finale was a chorus line of them dressed up like chickens clucking “In The Mood”.
Same with Liberace on TV - one could run a list (Elton John, Freddie Mercury, etc.) who we just accepted as they were.
Never thought twice about it - we just appreciated them as entertainers.
Must admit to being unsettled at finding Raymond Burr and Rock Hudson on the “out” list. Heck, Marlon Brando’s best friend was Wally Cox.

Milton Beryl in a dress, smoking a cigar. That was comedy. The movie Some Like it Hot.
