If you recall the fifties you would remember a LOT of humor was predicated on men dressing as women. Not because it is "gay" but because it is "ridiculous". Uncle Miltie in drag? Even Jack Benny in drag. Monte Python in drag half the damned time?
Also, Tony Curtis spend most of his time trying to seduce MM in drag. Preposterous but funny that guys are so horny they will break character in the pursuit of a quick shot.
