Chicago Bakery Attacked For Drag Brunch Illustrates A Social Conflict

A Chicago bakery attacked for hosting a drag brunch is now allowed to host the event again, but the journey to get there wasn't easy.

After weeks of backlash over plans to host a drag show brunch, Uprising Bakery and Cafe outside of Chicago, Illinois is back in action.

“So essentially we wanted to start hosting more events and diversify our events, so we booked a drag show to be here at our bakery and café," owner Corrina Sac said.

After posting plans for the event in early July, Sac says the business began receiving a wave of hateful comments on social media.
