Troops based at the Kadena Air Base in Japan know how to party. On Saturday, six gay and straight service members applied some of their finest makeup and lip synced to "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" in what is believed to be first drag queen and king show on an American military base. The show was thrown in support for the base's recently formed OutServe-SLDN chapter, a nonprofit advocacy group for the army's LGBT community.
Navy Lt. Marissa Greene told Stars and Stripes she only expected to sell 75 tickets for the variety show, but ended up selling more than 400 in ten days. The event went through the same approval process as other on-base fundraisers go through, with the only caveat being that it was not allowed to be labeled a "drag show" in its publicity materials. The show was warmly received by spectators, who rocked out to performances by the likes of Manny Nuff and Chocolate Sunrise ("a crowd favorite," the website notes.)
Just a few years ago, performances like these would have been grounds for a possible discharge. The repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell has made it possible for events like this to occur.
The agenda of destruction is almost complete.
Exactly correct and the US wont be the exception. This is what the beginning of losing wars looks like.
Maybe these folks can be part of the American response to Russia’s dastardly behavior. Send them to Kiev to put on their show - as a stern demonstration of American support.
The US now wants to force this on other nations.
I’m sure Putin was impressed. China, too.
...no wonder Russia is laughing at Obama.

Who’s in command at Kadena? Got to be somebody responsible who authorized this outrage. And whoever did knows the SecDef has their back. And won’t get blocked for promotion, either, not by the current Senate.
Disgusting........
I wonder if our troops were forced to attend?
That’s one USO show that I’d volunteer for KP to miss.
The Russians are going to walk all over us.
And Putin told Obama what he could do to himself.
The queers went native in Japan?
