In a recent episode of Drag Race, the panelist, and fantastic actor, Jeff Goldblum asked a contestant who was dressed in a red, white, and blue hijab: “Is there something in this religion that is anti-homosexuality and anti-woman? Does that complicate the issue? I’m just raising it and thinking out loud and maybe being stupid.”
Even as Goldblum was getting the question out, he must have realized that he’d likely waded into politically incorrect waters. The blowback was immediate.
The questions weren’t stupid. Goldblum asked if Islam complicated the performance, he didn’t ask if it defined the performer. You don’t have to be a religious scholar to note that drag shows, popular among gay men and others, might run afoul of Islamic law. One could probably ask the same question about other orthodox faiths.
