To prohibit the availability of funds for the Department of Defense for organizing, promoting, or hosting drag shows as a means of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Bill 117 hr 8720 aims to prevent the Department of Defense from using funds to support drag shows as part of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. The bill specifically prohibits the use of funds for organizing, promoting, or hosting drag shows within the Department of Defense.

The bill is intended to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to support activities that some may view as controversial or inappropriate within the military. Supporters of the bill argue that drag shows are not necessary for promoting diversity and inclusion within the Department of Defense, and that funds should be allocated to more traditional forms of diversity training and education.

Opponents of the bill argue that it is discriminatory and goes against the principles of diversity and inclusion. They believe that drag shows can be a valuable tool for promoting understanding and acceptance of different gender identities and expressions within the military. Overall, the passage of Bill 117 hr 8720 would have significant implications for how the Department of Defense approaches diversity and inclusion initiatives, particularly in relation to the use of funds for supporting drag shows.
