This is absolutely on brand. Can’t trust these companies to do what’s right.

    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?

          Your strip clubs don’t show boobs or genitals and focus on lip-syncing music and costumes? That’s a weird strip club.

          Either you went to a highly atypical drag show or a strip club without stripping. I think having a work-sponsored drag show is inappropriate and bit cringe, but it’s not more risqué than cabaret.

        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.

          You clearly have no idea what actually goes on in a drag show and rather than accepting your opinion is misinformed your projecting your ignorance on other people

            Right. If you can’t actually argue substance… but instead can only vaguely state “your ignorant”… Then I have a sad reality for you. You’re likely the one that’s wrong here.

            You have no idea what my personal experiences were like. Nor if I’ve ever been to one or not.

            What it appears is that you’ve never been to strip club before. Not ever girl shows everything. The performances can indeed be an exact 1:1 copy. And in both cases it’s still not proper for a business environment.

              But you keep comparing drag shows and strip clubs. You’re holding a giant neon sign that says “I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT” I’ve personally been to both and to think for a second that they’re similar atmosphere is just factually wrong.

                No… that would be an opinion… You’re basing it on your own experiences. Not the facts of how all strip clubs or all drag shows operate. You know… Not “factually” at all.

                Once again. I’ve literally seen the a similar performance in both situations. So now here we are. I say one thing. You say another. That’s why anecdotes are terrible. The difference here is I’m not claiming you’re factually incorrect, incorrectly.

                Edit: And still you don’t address the fact that either case is not fit for a business meeting/outing.

      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?

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