[edit] wrong link
The name Gemma Jones refers to two different people--to a drag performer and to a British actress. Currently, it links to the actress, who is not, in fact. a drag queen.

[edit] categories
Hi -- I had changed this list from category:Lists of people to the three cats: "Lists of people by occupation", "...by sexuality" and "...by activity", per Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes ("Categories should be on major topics that are likely to be useful to someone reading the article.") and trying to diffuse the unwieldy "Lists of people" category. User:Otto4711 reverted because "removing sexuality cat, not everyone on the list is of the same sexuality."
- I don't believe the category suggests that everyone is of the same sexuality (or even what the sexuality would be), but I do think it's "useful to someone reading the article." Many (most?) drag queens are either gay or trans, categories included within "lists of people by sexuality."
- Second, if one were to apply the "all members fit" criteria for the category, then "... by occupation" doesn't belong either.
Thoughts? Suggestions for better classification that is more succinct than the three currently listed? I did all three to try to capture the range of reasons/identities, and I think stripping "by occupation" and "by sexuality", and leaving only "by activity" makes this list unnecessarily difficult to find, and is not in keeping with the breadth of the LGBT categories treatment of transgender.
