Ball gay

The Ballroom scene (also known as the Ballroom community, Ballroom culture, or just Ballroom) is an African-American and Latino underground LGBTQ+ subculture. The scene traces its origins to the drag balls of the midth century United States, such as those hosted by William Dorsey Swann, a formerly enslaved Black man in Washington D.C.

Ball culture is an LGBTQ+ subculture in which drag performers compete in contests known as balls and are judged on their costuming, hair and makeup, dance, personality, and other qualities.
