MELVILLE, New York — Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida filed a complaint against a Miami restaurant which hosted a drag brunch performance, with children in the audience. The complaint noted that “The nature of the performances…particularly when conducted in the presence of young children, corrupts the public morals and outrages the sense of public decency.” DeSantis also noted incredulously that the restaurant “had a children’s menu.” Though many Judaic authorities view cross dressing as a violation of Jewish law, drag performers are not uncommon within the Jewish community and in Israel. An early Jewish drag performer was Gilbert Block, also known as Sadie, Sadie the Rabbi Lady. Sadie was arrested in 1987 when protesting the Catholic Church’s stance on abortion during a Papal visit to San Francisco. In his show Torch Song Trilogy, Harvey Fierstein played a Jewish drag queen named Virginia Ham, while Jason Gerber, a quarter-finalist on “America’s Got Talent,” performs as All Beef Patty. There have been two Jewish winners of RuPaul’s Drag Race–Jinkx Monsoon and Sasha Velour. Other Jewish drag queens include Gina Tonic, Gila Münster, and Belle Bottoms. Who are some other Jewish drag performers?
A. Trish Knish and Inge Potchket.
B. Miss Shugenner and Trudi Jew-Liani.
C. Melba Toast and Cassie Varnishkes.
D. Fay Kakte and Faye Gornisht.
