Are they flopping dildos? I've never been to one and I don't see the appeal but as stated earlier...I support the business owners right to put on the show and I support the people willing to protest.

I personally wouldn't protest by not going just because they hosted a show.


They can do as they like. This is America. I can safely avoid the restaurant when they are doing their drag show because that doesn't interest me.

But here is what all of this tells me: the business is run by people who are clearly trying hard to virtue signal. And I absolutely loathe such people. And if they are hosting drag shows and making a point of saying "Look how virtuous and inclusive we are", then I probably don't want to do business with them, have conversations with them, or even be around people who support their beliefs.

So count me out on this restaurant. And I am sure I am not the only one.

Food is shite, overpriced fried shrimp platter which is close to $30 tastes like those cafeteria fish sticks we had as kids. Go 2 miles further on Hospital Rd and go to Hot Tails.

Drag Shows are sexual shows.

It’s New Roads. Why would she think that?

no, it’s not black and white. if it closes down bad food and stupid business decisions can both be the reason.

This shite is turning me into a feminist.

Why is it different because it’s men? None of these places are having burlesque shows.

Why is it okay for men to grind in children but not women?

Local restaurant by me opened and their parking lot was always full. About a couple of months in they do a drag show on a Saturday evening. Parking lot has a lot less than half the cars it use to have. Friends of the owners trying to justify what they did. Fine. You have a right to do that but people also have the right not to patronize your business.

Cause many people don’t approve of the event or the endorsement/pandering to what they consider abhorrent behavior. As such they will register their displeasure with their pocketbooks.

Same shite leftists do all the time.
