The Drug Enforcement Administration recently sponsored an event for its Washington, D.C., headquarters employees at a bar and restaurant that largely caters to LGBTQ+ customers, to help the agency get what it described as “an understanding and perception of gay social culture” and that also was to include a drag show presentation.
While the “woke” movement appears to be going strong in American culture and its institutions, including the federal government, the event purportedly had low attendance.
“I don’t think we had a good turnout for it,” venue owner Freddie Lutz said. “I think only four people showed up. They didn’t do a bad job promoting it.”
