        What does it mean then?

        Oh boy. This is all kinda complex and definitions vary, but very generally:

        What Daniel Hilliard does in the movie is technically “drag” in the loosest sense of the term, but he’s definitely not a “drag queen”. That is a very specific type of gender-bending performance art. A queen is a persona that is typically defined by their exaggeration and/or subversion of gender norms.

        What Daniel does is merely playing a female role, and that involves cross dressing. It’s a job. He’s not out to say anything about gender or play with any social conventions. It’s just acting.

    It was a drive-by fruiting.

    Wow, the existence of that joke really underscores how fucked American society already was. Gun culture out the ass. I suppose it’s only natural that you can be shot pretty much anywhere today.
