According to his LinkedIn
page, Blomme was the president and CEO of the Cream City Foundation from July 2017 until August 2020, leaving that post when he was
elected to serve as circuit court judge.
Cream City Foundation is a Milwaukee-based LGBTQ advocacy nonprofit organization that offers grants and scholarships. Its current president and CEO is Gary Balcerzak, who took the post when Blomme left in August 2020.
According to Jonathan Hamilt, the executive director Drag Queen Story Hour’s national umbrella organization, Cream City Foundation acted as a fiscal sponsor to DQSH’s Milwaukee chapter so that the group could give and receive money as a nonprofit organization. However, Hamilt said, DQSH Milwaukee operates as a separate entity.
In an emailed statement, Hamilt told Snopes that “DQSH Milwaukee has never been run by the Cream City Foundation nor Brett Blomme,” and neither Cream City Foundation nor Blomme have participated in planning, organizing, hosting or performing at any of DQSH Milwaukee’s events, Hamilt wrote.
“Brett has never held a title or position within our organization ever,” Hamilt added.
