Title: Gay and Lesbian Troops Perform In Drag
Post by: Dori on March 03, 2014, 01:12:49 PM
Gay and lesbian troops perform in drag on American military base (http://theweek.com/article/index/257285/speedreads-gay-and-lesbian-troops-perform-in-drag-on-american-military-base)

Quote
Troops based at the Kadena Air Base in Japan know how to party. On Saturday, six gay and straight service members applied some of their finest makeup and lip synced to "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" in what is believed to be first drag queen and king show on an American military base. The show was thrown in support for the base's recently formed OutServe-SLDN chapter, a nonprofit advocacy group for the army's LGBT community.

Navy Lt. Marissa Greene told Stars and Stripes she only expected to sell 75 tickets for the variety show, but ended up selling more than 400 in ten days. The event went through the same approval process as other on-base fundraisers go through, with the only caveat being that it was not allowed to be labeled a "drag show" in its publicity materials. The show was warmly received by spectators, who rocked out to performances by the likes of Manny Nuff and Chocolate Sunrise ("a crowd favorite," the website notes.)

Three.  The first time I came to this thread, I sat here speechless for a few minutes.  Completely stunned.  I still can't believe such a display took place on a Military base AND by service members.  Today's Military is not the Military of my youth.

Can you imagine how Putin would laugh if he saw this?  Not only do we have a complete c*** for a POTUS, we have a gay Military.

Why does the Army's lgbt community need an advocacy group when they have the CINC and most of the elected officials in D.C. bending over backwards to accomodate them?

The MWR department must suck at Kadena if the troops are so bored they would flock to this freak show

If a bunch of straight guys had done this to mock gays, they would have been court-martialed.
