-'''The Cockettes''' were a [[psychedelic]] [[drag queen]] troupe founded by [[Hibiscus (entertainer)|Hibiscus]], aka George Harris, on New Years Eve, 1969 in San Francisco, combining intricate LSD-influenced choreography, set design, costumes and their own versions of showtunes. [[John Waters (filmmaker)|John Waters]]' screen [[diva]] [[Glen Milstead|Divine]] was a member of the group, as well as [[Tomata duPlenty]], who went on to sing in the seminal L.A. [[synthpunk]] band, [[the Screamers]]. 70's disco diva [[Sylvester James|Sylvester]] was also a member, and later dropped out of the troup to form his own band. He appeared as the opening act for the first week of the Cockettes run at the Anderson theatre in New York City, November of 1971.
-The Cockettes were credited at the time with being a huge influence on gay liberation: The term "genderf__k" was coined about them to express what one might make of a drag queen with a beard and a glittered penis.
