One week after Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., demanded answers from the Department of Defense about why a "child-friendly" drag show was being hosted at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, the show was abruptly canceled.
"HUGE VICTORY," Gaetz wrote on Twitter. "Drag shows should not be taking place on military installations with taxpayer dollars PERIOD!"
A drag show initially scheduled for June 1 — in celebration of Pride Month — organized by the Nellis LGBTQ+ Pride Council, was canceled, the group confirmed on Facebook.
"The Nellis LGBTQ+ Pride Council is saddened to inform you that we are no longer able to host our annual Pride Month Drag Show on Nellis AFB." The group said it "received notification that the DoD has directed Commanders not to host Drag events on military installations."

It’s a sad day when our military even attempts to host things like this
As we briskly move away from the puny day that memorializes our fallen heros on to the entire month that “celebrates” narcissistic borish pervs.
I don’t understand. It’s a kid safe pro family activity in honor of those serving their country. [apparently sarcasm tags are needed on things like this so if you really needed one here it is /sarcasm.]
A family friendly “drag show” used to be called Halloween.
You know, when your dad dressed up as a woman, funny as hell!
Imagine that... A Republican takes a stand, faces backlash from the Left, follows through and wins. Maybe some of the others in his party can check their pants and find there’s balls in there, and start to use them.
“The group said it “received notification that the DoD has directed Commanders not to host Drag events on military installations.”
Whoever approved this garbage in the first place should face a Court Martial.

Good, now remove the base commander!
I would imagine that this was a MWR planned deal, via the base NCO club, and the wing commander (nor the Lt Col that runs the service squadron)...knew about the schedule or contract by the club manager.
I’ll just say that female impersonator shows were occasional events in the 1980s at AF NCO clubs. Most rarely brought in any real customers...most who did show up were women.
Lot of water has passed under this ‘bridge’ where the Air Force club system was profitable (like 1970s/1980s).
Great news.
There is a larger spiritual issue at play than simply a "harmless" drag show.
Maybe, just maybe, the parents who would take their kids to such events need to be hit with child abuse charges or otherwise looked at as crappy parents. I don’t agree with the LGHDTV crowd, but I also don’t believe more government, or government intervention, is a good thing.
I’m currently listening to Grace to You sermons on living in America under judgment. This one is agrees how to live in a nation under divine abandonment.

This is from 6 years ago and was prophetic back then. We’ve rapidly devolved to that point. It’s here.

I remember during Obama’s “sequester” when all 4th of July celebrations ON MILITARY BASES were cancelled.
I remember in the 70’s army clubs would have great singers come in like Al Green, Brooks Benton,Joe Turner,Lee Dorsey, Ben E,. King all those great soul singers from the 50’s and 60’s whose time had passed but still had the chops. Great times.
