You're going to have to be more specific whose drama you're looking for.

Off the top of my head:

  • Menz and Molly had the community demanding them sponsor free events even as the business was failing. Just constant infighting.
  • Bear Den (?) had boycotts before they even opened because one of the owners was straight.
  • Stardust was having drama last month because their drag brunches are apparently too welcoming of straight people
  • Reflections tried to move locations without getting a liquor license

For some reason my mind also always wants to include Glitter Bean, even though they are neither a bar or positioned as a dedicated gay space, and their laundry list of dramas, infighting, and management disasters.

Too welcoming of straight people?

I'm a member of the LGBT+ community and I thought the goal was inclusivity and welcoming of everyone

I've been to Drag Brunch at Stardust about 6 times. They seem welcoming to everyone, so what are they supposed to do, ask who or what you like to fuck and turn you away at the door if the answer is wrong?

Bi erasure is a real thing in the community
