I thought about this and then decided, 'Why not?'

It concerns the same incident as the post below, so there is some repeat.

Los Angeles Air Force Base celebrated Diversity Day on Aug. 8. One of the acts was a drag band.

When asked “WTF?” by Fox News, base PR person Peggy Hodge said:

“Drag acts to this day represent the struggle for freedom and equality of the LGBT community, while at the same time providing a deep-rooted historical form of entertainment for the LGBT culture.”

Comments at www.thisainthell.us jumped all over the “deep-rooted historical form of entertainment” with questions of whether “Diversity Day” also included black-face acts. I guess those questions were for the descendents of Caucasian Vaudeville Performers, but whatever.

I wondered if Diversity Day had:

“Hello. My na’ Jose Jiminez an’ I gon inter-duce a ban of men dress’ like women.”

Or:

“Vat, you don’ like da zoot? Vat’s vrong vit it? Nothin’, that’s what. Fits like a glove.”

Or:

“Say, whatsamattah you? You see dos’ men dress’ like wimmin? Hey, they kinda pretty, huh.”

Or:

“Lord a’mercy I ain’t nevah seen nothin’ like that in all my born’d days. Lands, my momma be rollin over in her grave she even think somethin’ like this evah happen.”
