Default UAL hosts Drag Queen Brunch in EWR [NSFW]

I won't elaborate, but if we had a vote on this stuff, you could count me as a "no".

Proof...

Link to united's tweet.

One of the links in the tweet has video.

Well, it’s a good thing nobody asked you. This supported a great charity.

The fact that the company believes they can get away with this is incredulous. I am employed by UAL. UAL DOES NOT REPRESENT MY VALUES OR MORAL STANCE ON THIS MATTER.

The fact that UNITED AIRLINES believes they can use the term "WE" with anything related to this debauchery is appalling!

What exactly are they "getting away with?"

I've posted my thoughts on similar corporate activists positions on the company website so if you think I'm hiding behind anything anonymous you are mistaken.

Are you one of those that believe that tolerance only applies to people that agree with your positions on such matters?

You have every right to your opinion, and to scream it into the void here and elsewhere. You aren’t (and shouldn’t be) immune to the consequences of that opinion.

It’s not a matter of your fun “you’re not tolerating my intolerance” rhetorical nonsense.

Will somebody think of the children?!

Seriously though, a drag queen show might have been subversive in the 60s, but today it is pretty tame.

While I'm sure you stay will within your comfort zone, you might want to attend a show. Nothing but cheesy songs, lots of splits, huge wigs, and some dirty jokes (only if you are smart enough to get them). Would you rather the media show United dragging passengers off a plane or show that they are capable of enjoying some lighthearted entertainment?

Now if you really want to see something, go to a Thai ladyboy show!

you said it yourself. you are EMPLOYED by UA. You are NOT UA.

UA (i.e. the corporate HQ) can do whatever they want to.

Not sure why you are so worked up about it.

You are entitled to your own personal (bigoted/hateful/angry) opinions.
