Anyone tracking this? Why is this stuff so over the top? I’ll be honest, no one I know cares which way people swing, but lots of people care about overt displays of sexuality like this - whether gay or straight!

If I was traveling to Sydney with my kids and we stumbled upon a drag show (on both departure and arrival btw) and then were further inundated with the pride gear and probably multiple PA announcements on board, I wouldn’t be a happy customer. It’s inappropriate, and it’s not anti-LGBT to say that out loud. This stuff has gone far over the line. If there were women in bikinis dancing provocatively at the gate, would that be acceptable? No of course not, so why is this?
Why does UAL have to insert themselves (no pun intended) into these types of situations?!? By catering to one small group, they are alienating a much larger group.

Men like you are exactly why our society is crumbling. You, not only cannot speak out against it, you almost encourage it with this weak a$$ comment. Sheesh!

Like I said, not my world, but I wouldn’t have categorized the photos in that article as being dressed in a sexualized manner.

So you’re saying you were stimulated by those photos, then? Seems like someone has some explaining to do.

Yeah that’s not the definition of a drag queen. I want to know do you consider any singer, dancer or entertainer inherently sexual? Do you consider a hetero couple kissing more, less, or equally sexual or appropriate as a gay couple kissing?

God bless conservatives. “I’m all about small government and individual freedoms, but if I don’t like how you feel or dress or who you date, the government should punish you.”

It really is the definition of drag Queen.

“A drag queen is typically a male who dresses as a female to perform. Drag queens perform in exaggerated women’s clothing, presume female characters and representation. Though most drag queens are gay men and queer men, some are transgender and cisgender women.“

Here is the definition of gaslighting:

Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that often occurs in abusive relationships. It is a covert type of emotional abuse in which the bully or abuser misleads the target, creating a false narrative and making them question their judgments and reality.1 Ultimately, the victim of gaslighting starts to feel unsure about their perceptions of the world and even wonder if they are losing their sanity.
