The Pentagon canceled on Wednesday a drag show scheduled to take place at an Air Force base in Nevada after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) flagged the event.
The show, which, per Gaetz, was billed as „family-friendly“ and had no minimum age requirement, was scheduled to take place June 1 at Nellis Air Force Base. The Pentagon had previously denied that any taxpayer funds were used to organize such events, but in a May letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, Gaetz identified six drag shows, including the June 1 event, held or scheduled to be held at military installations.
