Tea Zaanti was the host of an all-ages drag show.An all-ages drag show at Tea Zaanti, a local wine and tea shop, has decided to “step back” according to an“Safety is, and should be, every business’ and producer’s #1 priority,” the statement reads. The decision comes after Proud Boys, one of them armed,outside the all-ages show, “Best-TEAS” last week, which Lipsyncki says took them a few days to process.
“It would be absolutely selfish and stupid for me and Tea Zaanti to continue this passion project at the safety and risk of kids,” Lypsyncki said. “This is not a decision we have taken lightly,” Lyttle went on to say. “It’s also not about “letting the other side win.” It’s about safety – promoting an environment that instigates a hate group is not something we want to risk. Our primary goal at Tea Zaanti is to create communi-TEA and promote equality and provide a welcoming space.”
Should be bigger protests
Good. Pedophiles and child sex groomers should fear.
Is there anyone less sympathetic than a mom taking her kids to an all ages drag show?
Screw the Proud Boys- they're all Nazis.
Good. I hope they also go out of business. They sure deserve it.
Drag shows are not for kids. Leave the kids alone.
AuntPeggysPrivy Yelling at adults and children while brandishing a firearm is NOT a protest its harassment and intimidation. People are afraid for their safety and well-being and that’s the Proud Boys intended result. If it’s not already, that should be illegal.
AuntPeggysPrivy A son of Brigham Young and founder of the Mormon young men’s program went by the name of Madam Pattirini in his drag shows
All-ages drag show That crap should be illegal
AuntPeggysPrivy elmforkJBGC wish we had a JBGC in Utah
I wouldn't call that a protest
What’s the obsession with inviting children to drag shows? Why do they want to dance in front of children so bad? Have as many drag shows as you want I don’t care but leave kids out of it.
Not into that sort of thing but don’t judge so. Why is there no one watching the Poop Boys? Do they think their special for some reason? Do they have some frustration cause deep down inside they are Queens? Or just rednecks full of hate? Makes you 🧐
An “all age” adult entertainment show ? That crap is not for kids.
Maybe they should stand outside of churches. You know. Where the real predators are.
Please elaborate of the claim of harassment or be forever known as a fabricator. You know, proof!
God, how pathetic to get so mad about someone else playing dress up.
Their name is so apt. Only a little boy would be so scared of a performer and random citizens as to feel a need for their safety binkie.
The majority of people didn't care about drag shows until children became involved. Adult entertainment is not for children. Consenting adults can do as they please. Leave the kids out of it.
good.
Don't let the Fascists (Proud Boys) win!
Sure this is disappointing for the SL Tribune
Why do we keep allowing armed terrorists to shut down businesses and events? Stop giving in to proud boys, they're terrorists!
Drag shows should NOT be for all ages. Stop sexualizing kids.
