A good way to make your queer employees feel like their “comfort levels” don’t matter. I guess only bigots matter at this school.
Oh yeah I bet they always make sure to make their employees comfortable and not just the times when they can do it for free by excluding people.
Can’t have your children learning from people who are different from you.
Yeah these bigots make me sick.
“respect people with sticks up their asses.”
There, fixed it, ya soulless dregs. Couldn’t put a little colour in your life even. That would be too much.
Right? I’m straight as an arrow but in no way would a drag queen at work do anything but brighten my day a bit.
Had a friend take me out to a gay bar, there was a drag competition and let me just say this, those motherfuckers can party. Had a great time.

Love how they cancelled the event hours before it was scheduled. Seems like they didn’t “respect the comfort levels” of the event organizers, participants, and most notably, Harmonica Sunbeam.
Fuck Brookdale.
They literally cancelled the event, but the cons aren’t for cancel culture.

I’m not comfortable around bigots, Laura.
I bet none of the students feel comfortable about paying the high tuition.

Nope!
Was this event mandatory?
Completely optional
I’m kinda mixed about this. Not against drag queens. But just at work entertainment in general.
If a company hired a bunch of comedian podcasters who lean hard into anti-woke territory, I’d be pretty peeved. I wouldn’t attend, but I’d be annoyed that company dollars went to that.
I went to a workplace event at the shooting range and remember the vegans being pissed at the idea we can shoot photos of animals. Totally understand their perspective.
And another time, I went to a work event where the main event was to watch classic cowboy movies and I noped because those movies bore me.
Not really sure of the answer. Maybe workplace events are just impossible to satisfy anybody.
Agreed. We’ve had lots of “team building” types of things that might have otherwise been fun (and mostly were), but ours always get turned into something super-competitive. It can’t be just “get out and do something as a group”, it has to have a set of winners. So our activities always get skewed to something like that. So the actual activity is the very opposite of “team building”.
But I guess thing is that the very idea of a “team” at work is total bullshit anyway, at least as far as any company I’ve ever worked for. Ever notice people don’t get compensated as a team? Hell, people don’t even know how others are compensated and if the “team” has a success, it’s not usually as if they all share in the rewards equally, or even merit-based. It’s all gut-feel, combined with who has what title, no matter how much time/effort someone puts in. So someone who was only just added to a “team” weeks before a major initiative is finished gets showered with praise, money, benefits - if they are an executive or at least have the right title/relationship with people making such decisions.
I think workplace events (or offsite ones) just tend to annoy nearly everyone in the actual trenches, if you want to be honest. Add in something that is political in nature and I think it only gets worse.
Dude they PARTY hard AF
There was a bar pretty close where i live, where on a good saturday had maybe 10 people max. Once a year they hosted a drag queen show party whatever. You had to buy tickets in advance or you wouldn’t have any chance to get it. The bar was packed to the brim and it was always a blast. The obvious downside were the right wing cunts threatening to burn down the building every year.
I mean, did employees have to attend? No? Well, then what was the problem?
