A long-awaited topic for Out of Context has finally arrived: drag kings!
Richard Rockhard AKA Courtney Stanley is one of the hardest-working drag kings in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Caitlin first got to know him as a fellow performer in the legendary "Get Your Drag On" (GYDO) show at Menz & Mollyz bar in 2016, and he carries on that legacy to this day!
In this episode, Caitlin gets the full history of Richard Rockhard the Halifax drag king, but also some insight into how an alter ego has helped Courtney grow and change off-stage. Although drag itself has become more mainstream in recent years, drag kings still often have to create space for themselves and many still don't know what a drag king even is. By the end of this episode, you'll be well acquainted with one of the finest out there!
