It's at a gay bar, but it's also an official employee event, which is weird. I wonder what the expectations are for employees to attend official events. For me, whether it's a drag show or bowling, I don't attend most after-hours work events.

Google is still sponsoring the event, it's just not an employee event anymore. That's probably how it should have been planned from the beginning.

That said, thin-skinned Christians can not attend if it's an optional event. The bible is silent about drag shows.
