The host of "The Megyn Kelly Show" shares how one Massachusetts lesbian bar received fierce backlash after making their bar mask optional The post Megyn Kelly Says ‘Super Woke’ Lesbian Bar Patrons Are ‘Most Vicious Against Their Own’ Amid Mask Outrage appeared first on TheWrap .

Megyn Kelly expressed her thoughts on the lesbian bar controversy that went viral this week, describing the backlash as "vicious." The Boston Globe reported on a Massachusetts lesbian bar, Last Ditch, which faced intense criticism after making their mask mandate optional for a Saturday night. The bar's owner, Jackie Matellian, shared that the bar was struggling financially and hoped the relaxed mask policy would attract more customers in 2026.

In response, community members organized an accountability session and an in-person Q&A with the bar owner. The incident sparked memes and debates on both sides of the political spectrum. Kelly noted that this event exemplifies a larger divide within leftist culture, stating that "super woke," immunocompromised, intersectional, and non-ableist individuals can be "the most vicious against their own.

One toe out of line, and they will crucify you." Glenn Greenwald, a guest journalist on Kelly's show, added that LGBTQ politics today often focuses on attacking the most marginalized people when they deviate slightly from the norm. He lamented that LGBTQ individuals who identify with working-class people and those suffering from capitalism's impact are often "the most miserable, sadistic people."

Last Ditch bar owner Jackie Matellian revealed that she couldn't afford to keep the bar open and had started the business with two friends, but they later left— one to pursue clown school. The story generated significant attention for The Boston Globe, with the publication reporting a surge in subscriptions and it becoming their best-performing story of the year.
