A Defense Department-wide prohibition on drag shows on military bases has resulted in the cancellation of at least two events that were planned for Pride Month and previously approved by base officials, two defense officials confirmed to Military.com.
Nellis Air Force Base is reportedly hosting an all ages drag show, despite Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's assurances that the DoD does not support the shows.
Drag stars Trixie Mattel and Monét X Change, and Swedish pop duo Icona Pop (known for their song "I Love It"), are among the headliners announced for the 2023 Utah Pride Festival.
