“The progressive / socialists have a thing for Drag Queens.
Who can explain it?”
I can. They are useful idiots for the left. Lenin also used the dregs of society for the purposes of fomenting hatred against the Czar and his supporters. Once the revolution was successful, the useful idiots were usually the first ones sent to the camps or killed outright. Their supporters were thanked by the politburo and given jobs as the apparatchiks in the new regime.

That makes sense. From their way of thinking.
