Wrestling with Esther: Purim Spiels, Gender, and Political Dissidence

The festival of Purim is when we all dress up (in fancy dress) and have a big party. In this article it inspired a Jewish drag king to deal with coming out in a particular way - coming out about Judaism as well as sexuality!

Also a  helpful exploration of the marginalisation of the gay community
