Culture wars | Google sparks employee debate after retracting Pride drag show support

Google is under the spotlight after distancing itself from a company-sponsored drag event for Pride month, after a group of its staff signed a petition disputing the event on the basis of religious discrimination.

The event, which is taking place at LGBTQ bar Beaux, is set to feature popular drag performer Peaches Christ and signify the end of Pride month. But in response to the event, several hundred staff members signed a petition disputing the performance, saying it discriminates and disrespects Christian employees.
