Google distances itself from planned drag performance after employee petition
Google has distanced itself from a planned drag show after some employees signed a petition opposing the Pride event.
This is absolutely on brand. Can't trust these companies to do what's right.

..featuring popular performer “Peaches Christ..”
There is is a difference between being edgy and...whatever that name is an attempt to project. I love people. All people. Couldn’t give a rat’s ass if you want to cross dress or sleep with your own gender. So, how about we drop the attempts to make a name for ourselves -with the intention of getting under people’s skin. Google did the right thing here, IMHO.
The world's most powerful and largest religion has such fragile defendants.
Taking offense because a company decided to not host a drag show is a bigger sign of fragility.
If we ignore the sequence of events and our countries history they would more or less be equal.
But since we can look at the sequence of events and our countries history, no.
with the intention of getting under people’s skin
Christians get to go around tell everyone that some people are abominations, pedo-groomers and are going to hell yet they get pissy when you call them on their shit or make the tiniest joke. Fuck that. I wish her name was Reach-Around Christ. More atrocities have been committed in the name of religion than ANYTHING in the history of man.
God damn, you are so sensitive.
How much would you bet this is also someone who unironically calls people snowflakes?
Christians: attempt to genocide LGBT+ people
Christians: "how dare you satirize us"
Come on dude
If you find the name Peaches Christ edgy or provocative, that's a you problem. A name like that harms no one.
Let's not pretend that that name wasn't chosen to be antagonistic.
You're just being disingenuous otherwise
I'm not sure how many Drag Queens you've seen perform but having an attitude is part of the gig.
Can't wait to see The Prophet Bum-HAMmed!
If you are getting this upset and offended by "Peaches Christ..." By those words. By a silly pseudonym of a performer... Maybe it's time to reevaluate your life, and what you consider important.
Are you also offended by the title "Jesus Christ Superstar"?
how dare you imply christ the lord our savior is a superstar this is sacrilege
I thought we had freedom of speech. Or does that only apply to Christians? Hmmmm
"Couldn’t give a rat’s ass if you want to cross dress or sleep with your own gender"
cap
Right.
So let me expand on this. I, myself, am not ‘sensitive’. However, I am keenly aware that the weaker in faith may be.
There exists (on both sides) a host of those who have no ability to lead with love - and resort to ruling with the rod.
Get some perspective. The people who do horrific things in the name of (insert god’s name here) are just the proverbial ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’. Attack the awful person(s) - not the faith that they attempt to shame.
Giving people a taste of their own medicine is an aggressive approach. I was just suggesting that if you want dialogue - and not dumpster fire - be respectful to each other.
They're not just that. They are also the people the rest of Christians commune with, their "brothers in Christ", who they support, who work toward the very same political goals, who donate money to the same places,who support others in their hatred of various groups and races. They are wolves in sheep's clothing embraced by all the rest of the "sheep" as one of their own. The "good" ones see the actions of the bad ones and like what they see and support it to the best of their ability. They want the exact same things, the same future, and work together politically to bring about that same future they all want.
