The Nellis Air Force base drag show, planned for the start of Pride Month, was canceled after Pentagon officials learned about it, according to reports.
Pentagon officials have canceled a family-friendly drag show at the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. The event, "Drag-u-Nellis," was first hosted at the base in June 2021 to celebrate Pride Month, in a show of inclusivity and diversity.
Pentagon officials have canceled an upcoming drag event at Nellis Air Force Base in Southern Nevada, even though the show had been previously approved by the Air Force.
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.
