Let others do what they want if it doesn’t hurt you. Insulting and denigrating people, however, is hurtful.
Let’s try a thought experiment, instead of drag queens, consider a group in white capes and burning crosses outside the United ticket counter at EWR.

The point that is being sidestepped is that such divisive displays of personal preference don’t do anything to promote an inclusive workplace.
