Max is lonely and uncertain about her future &#8212; fearful, in fact, of America's future with its War on Terror and War in Iraq &#8212; with only a core group of friends to turn to for reassurance. Max is shaken from her crisis, however, by the news that her friend Vickie, a transvestite, has been found murdered on her way home late one night. As the community of cross-dressers, drag queens, lesbian and gay men, and "genderqueers" of all kinds stand up together in the face of this tragedy, Max taps into the activist spirit she thought had long disappeared and for the first time in years discovers hope for her future.<br></div> 177560 1 3 2006 Drag King Dreams total:257|5:36|4:66|3:77|2:52|1:26| 257 805 385 45 1 1 false false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Jan 27 16:50:14 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 17:03:47 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Apr 20 10:03:29 -0700 2007 Fri Apr 20 10:08:58 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 18:49:14 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 12:23:58 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Dec 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 16 08:31:46 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 12:16:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Sep 08 21:22:31 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 21:24:47 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Nov 20 09:43:27 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 20 09:46:46 -0800 2007 5 1 false false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Aug 17 21:27:19 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 21:28:56 -0700 2007 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 31 11:19:40 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 12 09:37:51 -0800 2008 1 0 false false Wed Mar 05 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Sep 29 14:46:22 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 14:46:22 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Apr 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 10:50:03 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 18:33:30 -0700 2009
