A Western Mass. lesbian bar required KN-95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose. - The Boston Globe

Apparently the podcast “Blocked and Reported” has audio from a public meeting that the bar held on the issue: I don’t have the means to listen at this moment, but I may do that later for additional context

Behind a paywall, so I can’t read the article. Suffice it to say that I’m skeptical that this isn’t bullshit

yeaaaaa it screams MAGA psy-op, not "immune compromised people who have been shoved out of public spaces are mad" or "LGBT+ people are mad"

The Boston Globe is an accredited new source! The story is genuine. It was also picked up by TMZ, Pink New, Fox (ew), and NY Post (ew), and more! Latter two probably to stir up MAGA backlash.

I'm not doubting that it happened, I'm doubting that the threats came from anyone but the people who hate disabled and LGBT+ people and want us to hate eachother. We gotta stop letting bots and sock accounts create tension in our community.

Having now read the article… and done a little more googling… It seems to be an issue because one person, stage name Soe Noire, is making it that. Who knows why.
