Google distanced itself from a Pride Month drag show it had sponsored shortly after some employees started a petition claiming it was offensive to Christian staff,Google had planned to end its series of sponsored Pride events with a"Pride and Drag Show" featuring a performance by Peaches Christ at LGBTQ+ bar Beaux in San Francisco on Tuesday, CNBC reported.
Google did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made outside of regular working hours. Google told CNBC that the show was no longer part of its official DEI initiatives and that the company was encouraging employees to attend events at its offices instead, though the drag performance would still go ahead and staff would be able to attend. A Google spokesperson told the publication that the drag event had been planned by an internal team"without going through our standard events process" and did not say whether the changes to the event were related to the petition.
