GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (LifeSiteNews) — Popular sports bar and arcade franchise Dave and Buster’s drew backlash late last month after it was listed as a bar sponsor for a “pride” event set to feature a drag show by “youth entertainers.”
Over the weekend, the LGBT group organizing the event posted updated advertising to social media removing reference to Dave and Buster’s and altering the name of its “youth entertainers” time slot.
According to the group’s social media posts, the Northeast Wisconsin (NEW) Pride Alive event will be held September 22-23 at the Brown County Fair Grounds just outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin. It’s slated to feature numerous drag shows and LGBT band performances.
NEW Pride Alive, which started as “Rainbow Over Wisconsin” in 1996, puts on a bevy of events throughout the year including a “family-friendly pride event” that “features fireworks, live music, a local history exhibit, drag performances, and more…”
The organization’s Friday, September 22, event will be open only to people ages 21 and older, but Saturday’s is set to be open to all ages.
