Read what Desi Napoles, formerly known as Desmond Is Amazing, has to say about leaving drag, bans, and why drag is art.
When the world came to a stop during the COVID-19 pandemic, Desi Napoles used the break as a time to reassess. They had been doing drag since age 8, but now well into their teenage years, the persona they’d honed as a child didn’t feel right anymore. “It wasn’t drag anymore, it was me being me,” they say. “It wasn’t me playing a character, it was me being who I really am, which is a creative person who likes to make stuff and do makeup. That’s what prompted my shift.
That number ballooned in the ensuing years with 602 bills proposed in 2023, and 587 so far this year. Some of those bills are “drag bans,” which aim to restrict or stop drag performances, particularly in the case of minors. Tennessee had banned drag shows in public or in spaces where minors could see them, but a federal judge struck down the ban as unconstitutional in June 2023 .
