This is absolutely on brand. Can’t trust these companies to do what’s right.

    Many people such as women and trans women find drag to be offensive. Why bring it into the work place?

      “This year, the closing event was a “Pride and Drag Show” featuring popular performer “Peaches Christ,” who was scheduled to perform Tuesday at LGBTQ+ bar Beaux in San Francisco”

      It isn’t and never was planned to be at the workplace.

      Counter point: Wouldn’t it be hilarious if your job did a drag show and it had your boss twerking while half naked in drag?

      Why can’t we have pornstars “performance” at work instead of this shit is the real question. Why would anyone care what drag queens, Queers or gay people do anyways, and why should it be done in public eye at all?

          I’ve been to a strip club and I’ve been to drag shows. They hold similar “performance.”

            Your strip clubs don’t show boobs or genitals and focus on lip-syncing music and costumes? That’s a weird strip club.

            Either you went to a highly atypical drag show or a strip club without stripping. I think having a work-sponsored drag show is inappropriate and bit cringe, but it’s not more risqué than cabaret.

        I’m personally more disgusted by seeing straight people do anything in public. Wish they would all just stay home

        None of this was happening at work, but if you keep pretending that you don’t know that, you can probably get some other ignorant people pissed off about it too

        I’m trans myself and have no problem with people doing drag performances in public, but bringing such a contentious issue into the workplace seems misguided at best.

        I’m very religious despite being trans, but I’m not going to advocate for relation to be brought into my workplace either. I want to work.

          These are the same people that would view your very existence as a “contentious issue”. They don’t deserve an inch, on this or any other issue.
