Puzzled how a National Defense Authorization Defense Bill could be "woke" I did a search.
➤ It “reiterates” that no Defense Department money is to be spent on drag shows or other events involving drag queens, the summary says, and caps base pay for Defense Department employees whose positions are primarily related to initiatives aimed at fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in the workforce.
This is really nutty since drag shows have been around forever. One of my earliest high school memories is a girl's bathing suit contest at band camp in which the "contest" which involved boys in girls' swimsuits, replete with boobs and makeup! That was in the Sixties!
And one of the annual entertainments at a retirement community where I worked post-retirement about twenty years ago was a "Womanless Wedding" in which one of the male residents (or one of the staff) was dressed as the bride.
