An Illinois caf was vandalized with hate speech ahead of a drag show [View all]
An Illinois bakery and café has postponed a drag brunch event after their venue was vandalized early morning on Saturday.
Corinna Sac, the owner of UpRising Bakery and Café in Lake in the Hills, a village to the northwest of Chicago, had advertised the sold-out Saturday “brunch at night” event on Facebook, which was set to feature performances by three local drag queens and a raffle drawing, alongside the café’s standard brunch offerings.
Drag brunch events typically feature drag queens performing – singing, lipsyncing, and dancing – as live entertainment during brunch.
Shortly after midnight on Saturday, Lake in the Hills Police Department officers were notified of “in progress criminal damage to property,” the department said in a news release. Upon arrival, police arrested a suspect, who was charged with a hate crime and criminal damage to property. Both charges are Class 4 felonies, according to the police news release.
