United Airlines is united in grooming children before every flight. It’s sad adults are arguing whether or not it’s ok for a drag show to place in front of an audience that didn’t buy tickets to it. Movies are rated for a reason, maybe United should have their flights on certain days rated too. I’m sure some passengers traveling with children might opt out the drag queen previews before their fight to Houston.

when you are too close to something you often have both a soft spot and a blind spot for it.
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.

So if one portion of society (one can debate on how large) might be offended, then a company shouldn’t do anything, lest they offend an unknown portion?

FYI, drag or cross dressing is a paraphilia and more far prevalent with straight, white males, than actual gay dudes. The gay dudes are just more open about it, and not ashamed like their heterosexual counterparts. Let's all pick up and read the DSM-V and educate ourselves.

Dear Beings or Non Beings. Or whatever/whoever you identify as at this exact moment. If stating the mere fact that you simply exist is confrontational or offensive, then I truly apologize and owe you some sort of reparation. Moving forward, I, we, us, it, they, think this "drag" show is potentially positive, productive, and bodes well for all. As a self declared heterosexual human male, I can only expect that my beliefs and desires can and should be indulged as well, in all fairness. I look forward to the instillation of brass poles at every gate in which I arrive. As I deplane, I can boost the confidence of the performers of said poles, by nodding my head in a V formation while "donating" all my hotel van money, while downloading the next flight plan on the I, we, It, they, us, Pad!!

Really ****es me off when I hear you talk about consequences. Is that a threat? If so, would you care to elaborate?
