Add article description

This is a list of drag kings, sometimes known as male impersonators, drag performers, or drag artists. A drag king is a person who dresses in masculine clothes and hides their regular features (through such things as breast binding) for special occasions, often to perform, entertain, or engage in social activism. Many, but not all, drag kings are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
