😭 This is a tough one.
Dolly Parton was a songwriter, performer, storyteller and just an all around force of nature who changed music forever.

But perhaps what’s hitting many of us harder today is remembering what she did with that power. She used her enormous platform to lift up women, working people, children and people who were too often told they didn’t belong. And for generations of q***r folks Dolly’s music, humor, kindness and outspoken acceptance made her feel like family (and for many the family they never had). She repeatedly stood up for LGBTQAI+ people and insisted that everyone deserved the freedom to be exactly who they are.

Thank you Dolly, for giving us so many songs to sing and so many reasons to sing them together. 💖🎤🌈🦋

This is your notice to stop shaving for a few weeks or start crafting the perfect faux stache! Will you be the champ?! 🥸🏆

Hey Fam, popping in here to drop off a lil something for pride.
Last Night at Chopsticks Cricket was singing and said “Hey, I’m somebody’s mother.” After her song I said, “I’m somebody’s Parent as well, and look down at this trans flag!” I Put this up in dec 2017 to proudly support my son Jay. I wanted to do this but at the time we were just a pub with Q***r people in it. Back then If you talked some homophobic s**t the bartender would say “get the f**k out of our bar!” But we were not yet a Q***r bar. I wanted to put the flag up but was a lil nervous the owner might not like it. Arik the manager at the time said “f**k it” let’s just do it and beg forgiveness if it is not loved. Trans was the first big flag up at Chopsticks with a smaller pride flag soon to follow. Then more, then more, then we emerged as the Q***r bar you see before you now. The owner David Chow did NOT care and instead embraces our diversity. Having lived through the horrible Oppression of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, he is kind and has empathy for others who have been oppressed. He opened chopsticks to spread some happiness and He and Us are very protective of our people. I said that to say this. You are a Q***r bar when you say you are and we are proud of our safer space pub and want to see more of them in the city. Happy Pride ya’ll! 11 days early from the anniversary of when Marsha P. Johnson threw the first brick at the cops, but I thought of this today and wanted to say something.

THIS THURSDAY we’re getting REAL HOT & REAL Q***R and YOU’RE INVITED!
