“I hope your venue gets firebombed.” That’s a real comment from a leftist reacting to the Massachusetts lesbian bar, Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, dropping its mask mandate — for just one night per week — in an effort to increase business. Here’s another: “People like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience.”

The lesbian bar is facing a firestorm of allegations of bigotry, ranging from ableism to outright racism, in what has to be the most comical and unserious controversy of the year. When the bar’s owner tried to explain himself, one critic lambasted him for crying “WHITE THEY THEM TEARS.” Another lamented “a WHITE therapist” for centering the “feelings of a majority white and white adjacent staff.”
