The pagan religion of Antinous worship, with its open and well understood homosexual and bisexual male themes, has published an interesting article on the meaning of May 27th, as the United Kingdom enjoys a long Late Spring Bank Holiday weekend. In Ancient Greece, by coincidence, 27th May was the festival of Comus, a lesser known god of their pantheon who was sacred to drag! The historical blog tells us more: "During his festival, the worshipers of Comus would dress in clothes of the opposite sex and have fun dancing all night. He is the god of cross-dressing, partying, comedy and comedians. .... He is the god of drunken revelry, merrymaking, the source of jokes and comedy, especially anything which provokes a huge belly laugh. He is the god who makes a party go with a swing. His festival was a time of fun and frolics, with men dressed in drag and women sauntering about in male garb".
