A previously scheduled drag show to kick off Pride month on the sprawling Nellis Air Force Base, an advanced combat aviation training facility for the U.S.
Air Force northeast of Las Vegas, was cancelled Wednesday according to a Pentagon official, after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen.
Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stepped in. A Pentagon source familiar with the matter told the Washington Blade that Milley informed Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
Charles Q. Brown, Jr., that it is not Pentagon policy to fund drag shows on bases and the show needed to be canceled or moved off base.
