Shirley Q Liquor

Shirley Q Liquor is a drag queen persona created by Alabama resident Chuck Knipp. The character, a very strong stereotype of an African American welfare mother with 19 children, is exceptionally popular, especially on the internet. (Shirley's www.mp3.com/shirleyqliquor/ website receives the most downloads of any site on www.mp3.com.) The character came into criticism in the year 2002 when protesters picketed a New York City performance, protesting Knipp's blackface performance as racist and misogynistic. This lead to public response by various members of the drag queen and gay community, including noted drag queen RuPaul and singer/songwriter Easter Bradford.
