Pentagon cancels Nellis AFB drag show amid controversy.

The Pentagon has canceled a drag show scheduled to take place on the first day of Pride Month at Nevada's Nellis Air Force Base, citing Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's recent comments. The decision was made despite the event being approved by base commanders and deemed in line with DOD policy. The new directive applies only to drag shows held on military bases and does not impact other LGBTQ+ events scheduled to take place during Pride Month. LGBTQ advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign, criticized the decision as "sid[ing] with the politics of fear and discrimination peddled by extreme members of Congress."
