Joey Jay is actually only the second person from Arizona to appear on the show, and people are really excited about it. Deb Behrendt, a chair for AZ Jews for Pride, says the community is really proud of him. She says, "I've been watching 'Drag Race' for years. I am proud that Joey Jay hails from Phoenix and is Jewish. I just feel like a proud mom watching Joey Jay slay!" (via Jewish News).
Viewers can also expect to be delighted by someone who really knows what they're here to do. Joey Jay told The Spectrum that he's finally grown into himself and he loves who he is, saying, "When I'm out in public, I want others to see me comfortable in my own skin. I want them to know that if they can see that I am doing ok, they can flourish as well. It took me a long time to be comfortable with myself. That battle is definitely far from over but I can say I am proud of the man I have grown into."
