History
Members of the LGBTQ underground in large cities of the late 19th century began to organize masquerade balls known as “drags” in direct defiance of laws banning citizens from wearing clothes of the opposite gender. Langston Hughes wrote of drag balls in the 1920s. The balls and house of today became more organized in 1950s Harlem and popularized in the 1980s. Parallel developments were taking place in Washington, D.C., and expanding today into places including Francisco, Philadelphia and Atlanta.
