It's important to correct the article on one point. The person referred to as a drag queen was actually a trans woman. Understandably in the chaos he made a miss identification and the newspaper should make a correction.

Thanks for clarifying. Saying someone is a drag queen implies performer. A trans person is living their life. It's an understandable mistake, given the venue and circumstances, but a mistake nonetheless.

Which part? To clarify when I say "he" I'm referring to Richard who I believe was the person to refer to her as a Drag Queen and that has then been passed on.
