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

      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.

        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.

          I have been to multiple drag shows and they were quite explicit. I would say they were slightly less explicit than a burlesque show, The costumes and performances were somewhat akin to a strip show, but without the nudity. One thing that stands out to me was a trans woman in very small underwear who obviously hadn’t had bottom surgery doing the sitting splits, there was definitely a wardrobe malfunction.

          None of this really offended me, but I do wonder if the pushback from the right has to do with people seeing this type of drag show and not having anything else to compare it to.

        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

            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.

                that would be an opinion

                the fact that either case is not fit for a business meeting/outing

                would be an opinion

                the fact that

                an opinion

                You seem to have a rather tenuous grasp on the difference between opinion and fact, yourself.

            Yeah, it’s totally right! I also opposed my company going horseback riding because its a 1:1 copie of what happen in those movies where people get railed by horses! And opposed a group outing to a church cuz it’s like in BDSM movies! (You have no idea what happen in drag events)
