The Pansy Craze was a period of increased LGBT visibility in American popular culture from the late-1920s until the mid-1930s.[1][2] During the "craze," drag queens — known as "pansy performers" — experienced a surge in underground popularity, especially in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco. The exact dates of the movement are debated, with a range from the late 1920s until 1935.[1][3][4]
