How this lesbian watering hole became the most (in)famous bar in the world
The internet is obsessed with the internal drama of a Massachusetts lesbian bar.
In a small town in Massachusetts, a lesbian bar and arts venue called Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue found itself at the center of a viral controversy. The bar, one of only 36 lesbian bars in the U.S., became infamous due to a series of dramatic events that began with a simple Instagram post announcing a change to its mask policy.
The updated policy allowed for mask-less events on Saturday nights, which sparked outrage and accusations of ableism and racism from commenters online. The situation escalated quickly, with the bar's leadership apologizing, retracting, meeting with the community, and engaging in online debates. The article from the Boston Globe documented the entire debacle, with quotes and comments from patrons and opponents adding fuel to the fire.
