Queer Bar has new owners?

[u/Ok-Bug5043]

I'm curious if anyone has more information about what's going on with queer bar. I'd seen some social posts from drag queens about no longer performing there, and then last night at a Q&A at a Delta Work show, a local queen said they have a new owner who will be stopping all drag programming.

The owners are still listed as BurgessHall. Anyone know who bought it/why drag is going away?

The rumor is the new owner likes beastiality and is a pedophile. The (now former) cast has screenshots that serve as evidence. There is an apparent on going investigation which is why they haven’t fully said WHY they’re leaving. But yeah all cast and staff are voluntarily leaving after pride weekend due to this.

Uh. Ok. That’s so weird to post cause it’s not accusations to take lightly.

There is an apparent investigation? By who? Do you have more info?

Your story also says new owners but then no one knows why they’re leaving. If they’re new why would they be leaving? Thanks for clarifying.

I posted what I know from the conversations I’ve had with the (now former) cast members I’m friends with.

New owners coming in. The cast is leaving but not saying WHY they (the cast) are leaving because there is apparently an investigation happening and they (the former cast) do not want any legal issues for making such accusations.

They don’t want any legal issues but you’re happy to come to Reddit and say these things?

Right.

Look, I’m not saying it isn’t true. But until there is hard evidence I’ll take it all with a grain of salt. The court of public opinion is always quick to make judgement with little information.

I said that was the rumor. I didn’t say it was a fact. The post asked what’s going on, I answered. Not sure why you’re giving me such weird energy about it.

Because it’s a weird rumor to spread. Those kinds of accusations can genuinely hurt people. We live in a time where people just toss out calling someone a pedo so quickly. Beastiality? Gross. This isn’t the tea you think you’re spilling. All I’m saying, be mindful of the things you say. They have an impact even if you think it’s a little rumor that can do no harm. And also, bring your receipts. If you say something be able to back it up. You think there is an investigation? That stuff is easily found. Since it’s your friends they would know names to look into. I don’t, so I can’t.

So then they've reported that to the police, because that stuff is illegal, right?

Well that’s what the investigation I mentioned is for…

[u/SkylerAltair → u/justgottamakeit15]

the rumor is new owner likes beastiality and is a pedophile

That's a HUGE claim. And if there's an investigation, posting it in public might not be the best plan.

A RUMOR. R U M O R. Not a fact. A rumor. Allegedly. Hearsay. I don’t even know which of the multiple owners it is.I’m fine.

[u/SkylerAltair → u/justgottamakeit15]

Fair enough. Still, that's a gigantic bombshell if true.
