Cross-dressing (also known as 'drag') has been associated with the [[theater]] for hundreds of years and likely explains the high number of homosexuals in the theater industry and Hollywood. In [[Shakespeare]]'s [[England]], women were not allowed to appear on stage, so female roles were played by boys dressed in women's costume. In [[Spanish]] theater at the same time, women were allowed to perform, and the plots of playwrights such as Tirso de Molina and [[Lope de Vega]] often called for female characters to disguise themselves as men, particularly in [[comedy|comedies]].
