Breaking: American Legion Cancels Drag Shows After Vets ‘Drag’ Sweeney Post Leadership to the Rhetorical Woodshed

On Saturday, April 29th, we shared news about a local American Legion post that had scheduled a Drag Queen event on July 8th. As of this morning, two days later, that event and any future Drag shows the Sweeney Post leadership had planned have been canceled.

If you missed the original story, “The American Legion Henry J Sweeney Post #2 in Manchester, NH, has a surprise for Veterans and family members of all ages. They are the location forthe newest show in New Hampshire drag entertainment!

Available for all ages.

I was contacted by at least one Veteran who is a member of Sweeney Post #2. We had an in-person chat not long after that, and he named a few names. Liberals in leadership whom he believed (probably) couldn’t help themselves. We’ll refrain from sharing names for the moment, but they know who they are, as do the Veterans who called them after we published the story.

Those Vets expressed their concern about the decision to host drag queen shows at their American Legion Henry J Sweeney Post #2 in Manchester, NH, and it seems to have made an impression. The original post went up at 8 am Saturday. By 8 am Monday, I was told they had backed off not just the July 8th show but any plans for additional Drag Queen events.

On the bright side, the “newest show in New Hampshire Drag Entertainment” title is up for grabs.

Surprise!
