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.

If Obama likes gays so much, then why is he such a fan of Islam? Doesn’t want the Olympics in Russia due to their stance on gays, but has no problem pumping money into Saudi Arabia? What do muslims say about homosexuality? What a freaking hypocrite.
“Two’s company, three’s a crowd.” That was a “crowd” by generous standards. If the military has the 2% gay population of the rest of society, they should have had 60 active duty personnel, not counting family members and civilians on base, assuming that all gays would show up. They fell far short of even that modest target.
getting low down
They dare to meow.
ASHAMED OF MY AIR FORCE..
I find delicious irony in a term that utilizes a euphemism for homosexuality.
Seems like BO doesn’t like real women.Poor guys.
My siblings and I made sure we understood what his service meant so a big thank you.
Sadly, he is no longer with us but I keep his picture next to my computer.
I asked him when I was little why he volunteered for WWII? He said, “So I wouldn’t have to”.
My regret is that we had millions of these heroes fighting for freedom and then a punk, low intelligent wannabe thug is elected president. What happened to all the real men?
If we ever get into another large scale war the first thing we will need to do is frag the fags. This allowance of perversion can only lead to disorder and defeat.
What next, the military ordering members to march in gay pride parades!
Knew this would happen. Gay rights activists putting their lifestyle above their military cohesion.
I didn't accept that premise either. The disturbing part is that the Air Force is going out of its way to promote that premise.
My father also served during WWII, but didn’t make a career of it. I’m glad my Dad didn’t live to see the likes of Obama or even Carter, for that matter. Like you opined, ‘what has happened to all the real men?’
Well, many good men have replaced them, but too many slugs have also replaced them.
Keep praying and may God always bless and keep you and your precious family.
I'm hoping to hold out that long. Doesn't look promising. Too depressing.
I guess we could slap our enemies to death?
Good thing you got out before they make homosexuality mandatory in the military.
And how many in that crowd were only there under coercion (overt or implied) so as not to appear ‘homophobic’ and to enhance their command’s appearance of ‘inclusiveness’? Many of those present could been there just to laugh at it as a freak show.
This sort of thing, in short, is simply stupid. That it is not generally recognized as such, tells a great deal about how far we have drifted in pursuit of "diversity"--which is a cultish term, today, beloved by those who seek to deliberately suppress recognition of the extent of actual diversity among human types. (See "Diversity.)
Stupidity compounded!

Whether or not it’s a good-guy/bad-guy dichotomy, at least Russia is demonstrating both common sense and self-survival, while America continues its grotesque descent into the sewer. Having our military drive out Christianity, while worshipping homosex, is a pretty clear picture to me that America’s future is in grave doubt.
