The heartwarming moment happened at Talde in Jersey City, New Jersey, during a Drag Queen Brunch, Cummings — who prefers the pronoun they/them — said on Twitter.
They told theNew York Daily Newsthe request came as part of a “Drag Roulette” portion of the brunch in which attendees could request songs.
Cummings later joked on Twitter that the biggest criticism they’d received regarding the video was their dance moves.
While much of the reaction was positive — “This just flooded me with joy,” actress Julia Murney wrote onTwitter— Cummings remained calm after a user questioned what type of restaurant would allow a child at a drag show.

Cummings explained toNBC Newsthat they were thrilled that the special moment was spreading such joy on the internet, where negativity is the norm.
“The internet can be such a toilet for negative, toxic behavior and misinformation, so it feels incredible to be part of this one moment that is using the internet to spread so much love and joy,” they said.
