Many people such as women and trans women find drag to be offensive. Why bring it into the work place?

Counter point: Wouldn’t it be hilarious if your job did a drag show and it had your boss twerking while half naked in drag?

“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.

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

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

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

Google was sponsoring the performance at a bar. This was not “in the workplace”.

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?

Do you not get the spectacular irony of saying this while you yourself are complaining about drag queens?

Obviously you care, so why don’t you tell us why yourself?

None of this was happening at work, but if you keep pretending that you don’t know that, you can probably get some other ignorant people pissed off about it too

I’m personally more disgusted by seeing straight people do anything in public. Wish they would all just stay home

You think drag shows and porn “performances” are comparable?

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.”

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.

These are the same people that would view your very existence as a “contentious issue”. They don’t deserve an inch, on this or any other issue.

I know right. Imagine being given “time off,” but that time off is actually watching world cup. To me that would bore me to death. All this forced engagement and fake positivity is annoying.
