The second annual RuPaul’s Drag Race convention, DragCon, took place earlier this month, drawing 23,000 people of all walks of life to the L.A. Convention Center to shante, stay, dress up, meet their favorite queens, and just basically get their life. It may have seemed like an odd booking choice, at first, to put Black Flag legend Henry Rollins and Alice Bag (co-founder of seminal Los Angeles punk group the Bags) on a panel alongside Season 5 RuPaul’s Drag Race finalist Alaska 5000 and underground/queer nightlife promoters the Boulet Brothers. Check out our lively discussion here, with highlights of the participants’ most inspirational, occasionally hilarious, and definitely punk-rock quotes below.
