Hanukkah and drag queen story time

The Museum of the Home is helping families celebrate Hanukkah, with crafts, object handling and drag queen storytelling with Chanukah Lewinsky of theatre group Homos and Houmous.

Does Hannukkah have links to cross dressing? As a festival? Like panto?? Or is this just shoehorned in?

Isn't Homos a slur?

Seems an odd fit to me.

Completely shoehorned in. If they were talking about Purim, there might be some connection, as Purim is celebrated by topsy-turvy fancy dress and temporarily subverting social norms. It's absolutely nothing to do with Hannuka.

No, these people simply want to bring their whole selves to work.

As for the name of their group, if homosexual people want to call themselves 'Homos', that's their prerogative. Just like any other group reclaiming a slur.
