In new roads? How hard is it to read the room?


That’s liberals biggest issue. They force their shite in places it doesn’t belong. Hey I have no issue with you doing your thing as long as it makes sense. Doing this drag lunch in Nola or Spanish town, sure. But in fricking New Roads? I mean come on.


What would the reaction be if black rifle coffee opened a location on the gay side of bourbon street?

St Francisville’s mayor openly criticized New Roads for having too much alcohol, too much Mardi Gras, too much dancing, and too many music festivals. It was in The Advocate several years ago.

New Roads ain’t even the most conservative town in its region.

If drag shows are okay for children, why do the windows need to be covered and why is there a minimum age to enter?

Eh, SF also dissolved the pilgrimage in 2020 in the name of social justice, so I'd say NR still has them beat.

I don’t have an issue with a drag brunch if there isn’t a child audience and your customer base supports the idea. Sounds like they don’t have enough customer support. Oh well. Bad business decision.

Who is arguing that it’s okay for children?

Ok that’s good. You’ve built up a solid customer base.

Here’s where you fricked up. You lost sight of what you are in business for and took off down a divisive path that alienates your customer base. You’re in business to serve food. Good food makes people happy. The vast majority of people don’t need or want you putting on a performance of any kind with their meal. They don’t want your 12 year old niece singing karaoke country hits because “she’s gonna be a star” and they don’t want drag queens either.

The business has been very successful, but that all changed when a flier came out roughly a month ago promoting an upcoming drag brunch at the restaurant.

Hosting a drag show in a place like New Roads, LA is a fine way to torpedo your successful business venture. Well done.

Drag performances have become the center of controversy recently. Many Republican legislators in various states are trying to restrict them.


Democrats think preventing kids from perversion = Trying to stop adult drag.

Make this known throughout the public area, protest against it, and shut These liberal fricks down. Whether it’s for kids or not!
