This is absolutely on brand. Can't trust these companies to do what's right.

I've been to a strip club and I've been to drag shows. They hold similar "performance."
Your strip clubs don't show boobs or genitals and focus on lip-syncing music and costumes? That's a weird strip club.
Either you went to a highly atypical drag show or a strip club without stripping. I think having a work-sponsored drag show is inappropriate and bit cringe, but it's not more risqué than cabaret.
Cabaret is blatantly inappropriate for work
Drag shows =/= cabaret.
I have been to multiple drag shows and they were quite explicit. I would say they were slightly less explicit than a burlesque show, The costumes and performances were somewhat akin to a strip show, but without the nudity. One thing that stands out to me was a trans woman in very small underwear who obviously hadn't had bottom surgery doing the sitting splits, there was definitely a wardrobe malfunction.
None of this really offended me, but I do wonder if the pushback from the right has to do with people seeing this type of drag show and not having anything else to compare it to.
