Drag Ball is "
the social event of the year" at
Oberlin College. Originally the Lesbutant Ball, organized by lgbt activists, Drag Ball is now a corporate
web-cast venue for the timid
heterosexuals to showcase their
bed death and tepid understanding of non-traditional genders and sex. The Drag Ball is held in the Student Union and is sponsored by Oberlin College. What used to be a celebration of
genderfuck and 'subversive' lifestyles is now a bunch of really drunk straight boys running around in their girlfriends' dresses.
In recent years, members of the queer community at Oberlin have begun to boycott Drag Ball, recognizing it as the commercialized, misappropriated sham that it is.
