Huge kudos and hand waves to Anastasia Di’Nitta (Ryan Klock), Miss Gay San Francisco, for hosting an incredible Deaf drag experience, Silence!, on Sunday evening, July 12, at The Stud in San Francisco.

The event was standing room only, with an enthusiastic crowd enjoying outstanding performances by Iman (Kevin Abrams), Twerkisha Cakes (Montrell White), Diamond (Brent Fuentes), and, of course, Anastasia Di’Nitta herself!

The evening also served as a fundraiser for the Deaf Q***r Resource Center (DQRC), making it not only a memorable night of entertainment, but one that supported a vital community organization.

For those not in the know, Anastasia made history last year when she became the first Deaf person to win the Miss Gay San Francisco title with The Imperial Council of San Francisco, Inc.

Congratulations to everyone who performed, volunteered, donated, and helped make this unforgettable evening a success!
