Good to hear it
Shut the place down
Okay. So get a different insurance company.
Im not the biggest drag show guy but they absolutely have the right to exist…. its like if i said i dont agree with christian churches and petitioned to put them out of business because they indoctrinate children into something i do not believe in… children can only go to church when they are of age 21. So they can see the world for what it is and understand science and math literature. I believe it is wrong to indoctrinate children into hate of others to show your worship and praise your deity…if you are right about it i dont see how he would be down with it…. try to be a good Christian by being good to everyone
well it is homophobic texass
Good for the insurance company!
Land of the free, my a… Once more, I'm happy to live in a distant country where bigots are only a very small minority, where freedom is more than just a battle cry of the delusional bubble creatures who don't know any better, and where discrimination is not a way of life.
I wonder, when the bigots in this comment section watch The Bridge on the River Kwai or read the book (sorry, sarcasm…), will they object because people are killed and tortured or because there are some scenes with men in women's clothes?
Ha ha ha!
Lawsuit
The USA is devolving. MAGATS want to turn back the clock, when it comes to acceptance.
But they'll ensure evangelical churches, breeders of hatred and bigotry.
LOL
wasn’t there a South Park episode about this?? 😂😂😂
This negativity against drag shows are knuckle-dragging anti-Christians who pretend to be Christian. Jesus taught love and acceptance, not hate. Hate is ONLY from evil. Not a single case of a kid messed up because of drag. Not a single one, yet Republican lawmakers have been proven to have abused kids and you say nothing about it.
I cried for a week over this….. yeah cool story bro!?!?
Very wise insurance company! These places are going to get the pants sued off of them very soon! NO KIDS!!! Hahahahahaha.
So, while the GOP claims to be small government & pro small business, they have issues with drag show entertainment at a 21+ bar nowhere near a school? They need to mind their own f** king business.
I am sure that’s not the reason…. Liberal media 🤡
Good 90% of society sick of this bs
If you go woke, you go broke. That is what will hurt the economy.
Insurance is the biggest scam. Should ban all private insurance and have it govt run so there isnt claims being denied for no reason.
These guys run away at any tiny chance they might lose money and not just get free money for doing nothing
^At least they're willing to underwrite drunken alcoholic rage, drunk driving, and more.^
Probably the safest bar around! What insurance companies?
Why are you not reporting on the truth of all the Biden’s crime family, issues. This is not reporting to make up lies and report that crap
Talk about making acid over life giving you lemons
Agriculture & livestock have been bought out by corporate America & after no freedoms left; only a gvmt owned economy like socialist communist nations.
(THANKFUL&LOVE)

Why is NBC even broadcasting this crap as if anyone cares 🥱
With personally owned family businesses like these eliminated for x or y reasons ; next only corporations left for a One World Order of the Beast!.
This is totally political. The LGBTQ community should set up their own insurance company. 60 thousand a year for one bar seems like a chunk of change for just this one bar. I imagine it would be a great investment for the community.
To this bar owner, take heart, not everyone is a small minded bigot. You are loved. God bless.
Right-wing cancel culture.
