The U.S. military will no longer host drag shows at bases around the world, according to a new report from Associated Press. The news comes following a pressure campaign by Republicans to abolish anything associated with LGBT life during Pride Month. But banning drag isn’t just bigoted. It ignores the long history of drag in the U.S. military that stretches back over 100 years.

Substack’s success shows readers have had enough of polarised media
Substack’s success shows readers have had enough of polarised media
Glenn Greenwald, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who in October resigned from The Intercept, the online media platform he co-founded, citing “repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity”, has between 20,000 and 40,000 paid subscribers to his newsletter, each contributing at least $5 a month. Once Substack has taken its standard 10 per cent cut, and after payment processing fees, I calculate that Greenwald is left with between $80,000 and $160,000 a month, or about $1m to $2m a year. Not bad for a mere hack.
“It’s a lot,” Greenwald tells me. “It’s obviously way more money than I’ve ever made in journalism before, or than I ever thought I would make.”
If only I could write, still.
