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.

      We had drag bingo at my work and it was my favorite work event by far. They made my coworkers do a dance battle lmao

      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?

          Okay, replace “porn performances” with strippers. You don’t bring your whole company to a strip club. Or mandate that people go to such an event under threat/duress of being fired.

          The sad part is, you know that this was the comparison… but instead you have to be obtuse about this and argue against it as if going to ANY sexually charged event is a norm in workplace cultures.

          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.

        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.

      I didn’t know Google owned a gay bar in San Francisco.

      Oh wait, they don’t. You just didn’t read the article.
