A pride show set to be held at an American military base was canceled after a Republican lawmaker questioned using taxpayer dollars for drag events.

The Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada has been hosting drag events since 2021. This year, the show was scheduled for Thursday and was billed as “family-friendly,” with no minimum age requirement. However, the show was canceled.
