Jennifer,
I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask such a question. I used to perform in drag shows (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away), but I do not consider myself a drag queen. I don't think anyone here does. We represent a broad spectrum of the transgender spectrum, but I don't know of any drag queens. The term "drag queen" is generally taken to apply to a type of stage entertainer, usually homosexual (though not necessarily).
If you're asking about a safe haven for transgendered persons, I know of none. Even in the cities where we are considered to be part of the community (NYC, San Francisco, Las Vegas), there is hatred and violence. Much as it pains me to say it, I do not think mainstream society has evolved to the point where we can collectively be accepted by all.
