Nellis Air Force Base and the 99th Air Base Wing hosted its first-ever drag show Thursday, June 17, at the Nellis Club. The event was sponsored by a private organization and provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the history and significance of drag performance art within the LGBT+ community.<\/p>\n
Ensuring our ranks reflect and are inclusive of the American people is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military. Nellis Air Force Base is committed to providing and championing an environment that is characterized by equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The drag queen show came to light after Air Force veteran podcaster \u201cBK\u201d posted a digital flyer for the event that read: \u201cDRAG-U-NELLIS\u201d and \u201cCLASS IS IN SESSION.\u201d<\/p>\n

So @NellisAFB is having a base-sanctioned drag Queen show; isn\u2019t that awesome?<\/p>\n
Maybe some of our military \u201cjournalists\u201d can call them up and ask them about this. ? pic.twitter.com\/CJdGjpuun9<\/p>\n

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Which is just a few minutes down the road from Nellis. Anything goes there, so go there. That the base SNCO frat put this on is more than a bit concerning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
