The magazine Drag launched on the eve of the Stonewall riots

In 1970, just one year after the Stonewall Riots, the New York queer press began to flourish with publications that served as both cultural guides and political lifelines. Among these was Drag, a magazine helmed by activists Lee Brewer and Bunny Eisenhower. While much of the era's activism focused on a mainstream gay identity, Drag specifically centered on trans and queer individuals who were frequently pushed to the fringes of the movement.
