Peyton Kross, of Little Rock, Arkansas, points to the crowd while in the character of Lady Boi on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2017, during the Golden Gays Drag show in the Student Center. Honestly drag has really helped me figure out who I am as a person, Kross said. With any gay kid growing up, you struggle with being too feminine or too this or too that. Drag has really put into perspective that yes, I have feminine qualities, but that doesnt make me wrong or sinful. So drag has really just given me this incredible creative outlet. Its performance, its music, its fashion, its hairstyling - all these things that I love so much and I found a way to bring them together. (Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms)
