Bakery that hosted drag event closes after hate groups made her work a "nightmare"
LGBTQNation ^ | Mar 25, 2023 | LGBTQ

A bakery will permanently close its doors after experiencing months of vicious harassment for hosting a drag show.

Uprising bakery & café is located in a Chicago suburb called Lake in the Hills and owned by Corinna Sac, who opened the bakery in 2021 as an inclusive space for all. A press release announcing the closing details Sac’s desire for the bakery to be a space where LGBTQ+ couples could come for wedding cakes.

“Her dream of an inclusive bakery has since become a nightmare no businessperson could have anticipated,” the release states.

“Closing our doors is the direct result of the horrific attacks, endless harassment, and unrelenting negative misinformation about our establishment in the last eight months,” Sac, who is bisexual, said in a statement. “From an award-winning bakery that donates to local organizations and supports diversity and inclusion, we have been rebranded by misinformation as ‘gay only’ and ‘pedophiles.'”

She added that the relentless protestors have caused local customers to be afraid to visit the bakery out of fear of harassment......

Fueled by anti-LGBTQ+ misinformation on social media, over the past year, drag queen story hours and other family friendly LGBTQ+ events featuring drag performers have become a target for far-right groups like the Proud Boys as well Republican politicians. Earlier this month, Tennessee became the first state to pass a law intended to ban drag performances in public spaces. Similar legislation has been introduced in state houses across the country.

Sounds fake to me, probably expected the queers to be standing in line for this product and it didn't happen. They likely had rainbow flags and such decor turning off normal people.

And I doubt there were lots of protests, why bother?

Sounds like it was bad business planning. How many pervert cakes are you going to sell?

The market place works, always does.

Lgbtq Hate groups forced an elderly woman who owned and operated a floral shop to close and lose her business and income

Lgbtq hate groups forced several other people to go out of business because they wouldn’t vio.ate their religious beleifs like the lgbtq hate groups demanded.

Boo goo.

Sick of this crap. Look at the absolutely loaded language. Reposted by MSN.

this is what the MSM has been doing for years, albeit more subtle. Loaded with adjectives and also, in this case, presuming about what is “right wing” (obviously evil) and that communist term, “misinformation”. Which tag-teams with the true Stalinist term disinformation.

Look, I’m sorry if people were really mean to you, but your idea that mentally I’ll men dressed as women have to read to children is mentally Ill itself. Absurd. “Calling that “family friendly” is what is misinformation.

Hmm...

A bakery that caters to 1-3% of the population and emphasizes gay entertainment rather than pastries...

Probably not the greatest business model. I’m shocked that they didn’t make a profit. Shocked!! /s

It was a half-baked idea.
That’s the way the cookie crumbles.

I’d certainly like to see some solid proof of that but as usual I’m sure there isn’t.

What decent, rational person would want food prepared by perverts? Suspect the gays themselves have doubts about eating anything made there.

"Inclusive" means perverts only and people who are not the kind you want your kids to be around.

Sounds like she is miffed that normal people broke the code.

I go both ways on this (yuk, yuk).

On the one hand it's good to see the queers get a taste of their own medicine - but on the other I guess it would be good for these people to be in business, to take pressure off Christian bakers like Jack Phillips who can say, "You have a queer-friendly source now - go there".

In its final analysis, the essence of gay male differentiation from male/male fraternal loyalty and affection is the lust for butt sex. There is really nothing else at work here folks. Men can love other men, fraternally, with deep loyalty and affection and with permanence and responsibility. Many are lucky enough to have such friends - army buddies, frat brothers, even prep school survivors.

But, when defining gay relationships and attraction, there is only one defining factor. The desire for butt sex from another man’s penis.

A truly disgusting and perverted basis for a relationship.
