Overview

• Alan Dershowitz was turned away at Good Pierogi in West Tisbury for a second consecutive week on August 7, leaving the market without the pierogies he sought.
• Chef Krem Miskevich, who uses they/them pronouns, cited moral objections to Dershowitz’s defense of clients like Jeffrey Epstein and his political views when refusing service.
• Market-goers rallied around the stall, chanting “Time to go” and “Go home, Alan!” as supporters defended the vendor against Dershowitz’s demands.
• During the confrontation, Dershowitz misgendered Miskevich before conceding to use they/them pronouns after being corrected.
• Legal experts say Massachusetts public-accommodation law does not cover political beliefs, making Dershowitz’s planned discrimination suit unlikely to prevail.
