Commonly used for fund raising, it's a full-on drag presentation by the men of the church. It's very popular and a lot of fun, apparently, for everyone.

So, how can these right wing tough guys put on women's clothing and prance around on a stage, delighting the crowd, in a faux marriage ceremony on Saturday night and sit piously on Sunday morning and nod in agreement while the preacher rants about "rampant homosexual behavior" invading their community?
