The U.S. Air Force said that a well-known drag queen group was invited to perform on base during a “Diversity Day” celebration because drag is a “symbol of gay pride and unity. But the performance sparked outrage among some airmen who called the drag show “totally offensive and inappropriate.”
Jewels and the Brunchettes performed to a small crowd at the Los Angeles Air Force Base on Aug. 8, the military confirmed. Photographs provided to Fox News show an individual wearing a giant wig and sporting form-fitting dresses performing to a sparse crowd underneath the American flag.
“Drag acts to this day represent the struggle for freedom and equality of the LGBT community, while at the same time providing a deep-rooted historical form of entertainment for the LGBT culture,” said Peggy Hodge, a spokesperson for the Office of Public Affairs. The military said the drag queen group did not include any members of the Air Force.
“Drag queen acts are historically one of the main forms of entertainment in the LGBT culture, having its roots in the earliest of days of the gay rights movement,” Hodge said in a written statement.

Meanwhile, I read on another thread that it’s important to keep supporting our military regardless of these new developments. Why?
Gonna be rammed down their “throats” until they submit dammit../sarc
Isaiah 3:2 does say that the “mighty man and the man of war” would be taken away from a disobedient nation.
We deserve plagues.
Oh, but this doesn’t affect our military’s professionalism or readiness or anything...some general said so. Probably some general with his hand up some bimbos skirt.../s
What a crying shame the military has been reduced to this.
I go out of my way to thank service members for their service. Maybe I should start adding, “... and I feel sorry for you.”
It sickens me to see the changes just since I retired in 2008. Was it really only 5 years ago? Did America change that much?!!!!
I no longer recognize my own country. Ready to move to Moscow.
Dear God.
America has truly given itself over to evil.
We are an active duty officer’s family, just trying to hang on for the next couple of years to get 30 yrs. in.
Whatever happened to my Jesusland Michael Moore promised me?
If a performing drag queen group celebrates LGBT pride, then what about that film clip of Lucy and Ethyl working in the candy factory, packing fudge? Is that representative too?
Disgusting to implicitly compare this with Blacks being beaten, hosed and murdered in their "struggle for freedom and equality".
Drag does symbolize homosexuality which is proof homosexuality is a mental disorder and should have nothing to do with the military. Freaks and retards should be nowhere near the military.
Wait till these things are made mandatory. That and gay preference in promotions. It’s coming. Glad I retired long ago.
I suppose next up on the hit parade is live animal sacrifices on base to celebrate Eid al Adha. Can’t have any fringe minority group feeling left out.
v4 Mere youths without experience will become officials and leaders.
v5 Families will quarrel. Neighbours will fight each other. Youths will insult old people. And nobody will respect those who deserve honour.
v6 A man will seize one of his brothers and say to him: ‘You still have a coat. You be our leader. Take up responsibility for this heap of stones.’
v7 But the brother will refuse. ‘I have no solution to our troubles. I have no food or clothes at home. Do not make me the leader.’
v8 Both national and local government have completely broken down. This is because people’s evil words and actions have made the *Lord their enemy.
v9 But they talk proudly about their wicked lives, as the inhabitants of Sodom used to do. Such people bring great trouble upon themselves.
v10 Some people obey God and live good lives. Tell those people that God will reward them.
v11 But some people do not obey God. Tell those people that they will suffer. What they have done to other people, other people will do to them.
v12 My people! Your leaders are fools. They are as weak as women. They are as silly as children. Your leaders are taking you away from God.
Just think of them flying multibillion dollar airplanes with nuclear armaments in their control.
And, if anyone dares to attack us, we’ll scratch their eyes out!
