If you’re really worried, maybe walk to another area of the airport

I am. The rules of the forum prohibit it, however.

Brilliant idea! I could just miss my flight avoiding a spectacle that has NO place in an airport terminal. Last I checked, drag shows are held in clubs/bars where you're usually charged admission. I kind of doubt children would be welcome in such a venue.

Another swing and a miss!

Yes, over by the the dog fighting arena. If we're getting it on, do it right.

You couldn’t possibly come back after the show.

It's not all about YOU either. I don't particularly enjoy drag shows.. but I'd just ignore it and continue on my merry way. If my kids asked me about it I'd say "some people like to dress up all crazy and put on a show... and that's what they're doing. Now who wants some vegan ice cream?!"

That's probably the case here.

No way would family valued, traditionally-minded, socially conservative parents want their kids exposed to this sort of thing.

Not cool. Can't believe this would be condoned on company property.

It's one thing to drive to New Orleans and see this on Bourbon Street, or to Key West on Halloween, but an entirely different thing to see this at a fortune 500 company.

I don't work for your airline and never will so I have no skin in this game. What I do have is a lifetime of experience to draw from. When you get to a certain age you realize there are more important things in life than judging someone else lifestyle or fighting pointless moral battles. Just live and let live I say.

If you're a "family valued, traditionally-minded, socially conservative parent" and want to shelter your children from the realities of the modern world, I pity them. Because someday they won't have you to shield their eyes from the horrors of this huge diverse world. I guess you'll have succeeded in raising to be a closed minded bigoted person like yourself but that's none of my business.

Seems to me if a drag show in the airport is such a horror you could just go somewhere else to wait for your flight to Alabama. Or Oklahoma. Or whatever depressing square red flyover state you live your sheltered life in where all you have to see is "family valued, traditionally-minded, socially conservative people".

I also think its really funny and ironic how the first people to cry out about triggered millennials are middle aged conservatives who are way more outraged over really stupid crap than any of them are. Sounds like you are the ones who need safe spaces. I say this as a white male in my early 60s.

I'm sure United Airlines really values the opinions of online trolls at an anonymous online trolling site. I'm sure they will read this and change their marketing plan just because all of you family valued, traditionally-minded, socially conservative parents" have spoken out anonymously on said trolling site. Try this. Maybe just shut up, do your job, go home, then tell your kids about the evil liberals and freaks of the world to avoid. You'll be doing a lot of people a service who avoid your dreary corn state already.

Now by all means carry on with your triggered snowflake outrage you shining maga people.

All that stuff he said, and: ya’ll are mad because people played dress-up at the airport. That’s it.

You forgot that the drag lifestyle is contagious
