Drag queens join Philadelphia parade

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- A Philadelphia drag queen said his hand-picked squad of 10 performers will grace the Mummers Parade in Philadelphia.

Ian Morrison, who performs under the name Brittany Lynn, said he and his nine colleagues in women's clothing will wear costumes matching the theme of a Fancy Brigade during the traditional New Year's Day parade in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Daily News reported Wednesday.

Morrison said each member of his "Drag Brigade" will perform for 2 minutes at the Convention Center before the competition performance.
