"Shrill and quick-witted, weird and over the top, funny and endearing. What is really behind the clichés of a fag? Psychologist, author, and photographer Patrick Hamm investigates this phenomenon in over 100 portraits, interviews, and essays.
Questions that are as fundamental as they are interesting are asked, such as: What is male, what is female? What is subversive about a disguise? Colorful birds of paradise in all their glitter and glamour, pumps, and pomp are lovingly and humorously presented and documented in numerous color photos.
From the Berlin rubble queen to Priscilla - Queen of the Desert: Patrick Hamm draws a differentiated and entertaining picture of the queen movement, which is indispensable in the media as well as on stage and in everyday life."
