The "pansy craze" was a brief, surprisingly open era in the late 1920s and early 1930s when gay, gender-nonconforming, and drag performers achieved mainstream popularity in US entertainment. Centered in Prohibition-era cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, these performers (often called "pansies") headlined, performed in, or frequented popular nightclubs and, to a lesser extent, pre-Code films. #lgbtqhistory #lgbtiq #lgbtqia #lgbt #roaring20s | Jeff Waters

Jean Malin (1908–1933), born Victor Eugene James Malinovsky, was a pioneering, openly gay drag queen and emcee during the early 1930s "pansy craze" in New York and Hollywood. Known as "The Queen of the Pansies," he was a 6-foot-tall blond performer famous for his sharp wit, effeminate style, and ability to handle hecklers. #jeanmalin #dragqueens #lgbtqhistory #lgbtqia #lgbt #gonetosoon | Jeff Waters
