Google Cancels Drag Performance Following Christian Employee Petition
- Google planned and then removed a drag show from their internal LGBTQ Pride celebrations after some employees signed a petition calling the show disrespectful to their religious beliefs.
- The petition claimed the drag performance sexualized and disrespected Christian employees.
- Google removed the show from their events page but the performance will still continue as scheduled at the original venue.
- Google said the show was removed because it wasn't properly approved, though some criticized the decision as caving to politically motivated pressure.
- The cancellation highlighted tensions between promoting inclusion and respecting religious views within the company.
