MAGA Gays Say Denver Gay Bar Discriminated Against Them
♬ original sound – 5280BasedHomo There’s no solid evidence — other than Guggenheim’s claims — that the bar only charged conservatives $40 to enter.Phil Newland of Buddies disputed Guggenheim, noting that “considerable misinformation” has been spread regarding the incident.Newland told Metro Weekly in an email that the bar was holding a small fundraiser supporting the Harris-Walz campaign from 4:30 p.m.
to 5:30 p.m. on the day in question. They charged people $40 to enter and seven people (besides organizers) chose to participate, resulting in $280 being raised.“We had several people choose to not participate in the 60-minute fundraiser, and many of them returned at 5:30 when the fundraiser was over,” Newland wrote, noting that the bar holds weekly fundraisers for a variety of LGBTQ nonprofit organizations.Unfortunately, some online users heeded Guggenheim’s call to “blast” Buddies, and the bar’s Yelp page received several one-star reviews, with commentators referencing the incident and the bar’s alleged ideological discrimination against gay conservatives.“Denied entry to gay people who are not ideologically aligned with the left.
Really unfortunate and pathetic. Making sure everyone knows Buddies discriminates and is unwelcoming,” wrote one reviewer based in Los Angeles.“This is not an inclusive space, the gay community should be open and supportive of all members, not a select few,” wrote a reviewer based in San Antonio, Texas.“This business discriminates.
It also helps groom children for gender transition,” wrote a user from Denver. “Please do not patronize this establishment.”“Buddies is a WOKE bar that discriminates against conservative gay men!
