UPDATE 7: Chicgo Tribune Puts Story on Front Page

The strory does not mention special prices for kids under 13.

There will be designated areas for protestors.

Similar to those imposed by Crystal Lake Police during the Gay Rowing Games at the Main Beach, where, by the way, one could hardly find the protestors unless one drove toward Lakewood on Lake Avenue.

Lake in the Hills’ UpRising Bakery & Café subjected to threats, vandalism, protest plans over drag show https://cbsnews.com/chicago/news/lake-in-the-hills-uprising-bakery-cafe-subjected-to-threats-vandalism-protest-plans-over-drag-show/?taid=62d9a94e1eb7220001669c59&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

UPDSATE 4: Found on Twitter, a conspiratorial but interesting idea.

The upcoming drag show at UpRising Bakery and Cafe is highly polarizing and controversial, and while many people are frustrated there are also many chiming in with support.

One Twitter user believes this is a publicity stunt and that the drag show is something akin to virtue signaling to a certain audience for money.

@SotoAlejandra1 says the owner “is just milking supporting the drag community cause her business is failing.”

The idea has merit. Research is inconclusive that “cancelling” a person or business works. Sometimes the backlash brings attention and support. 

The owner of UpRising claims the show is already sold out.

More left-wing criticism of UpRising bakery.

From Lake in the Hills Police:

UPDATE 4: LITH PD Notification and Response to UpRising Bakery and Cafe Drag Show Brunch

On July 6th, 2022, the Lake in the Hills Police Department began to receive messages from concerned
citizens regarding a drag show performance being hosted by UpRising Bakery and Cafe, 2104 W. Algonquin Rd., scheduled for July 23rd.

Residents expressed their concerns, citing an advertisement regarding children being allowed to attend the event.

Since being notified of the event, the Police Department, along with Lake in the Hills Community Development Department, contacted the business owner and have been in regular communication regarding the event.

The Police Department and Community Development Department have investigated the reported concerns.

Subsequently, no violations of the Village of Lake in the Hills Municipal code were found and no nudity or sexually explicit content is reported to be a part of the scheduled performance.

We encourage anyone who has a concern to contact us directly and not rely solely on the social media attention that has overtaken this event.

Since the posting of the advertisement, UpRising Bakery and Cafe’s owner reported receiving in-person and online threats to the business, the Police Department has taken reports and is investigating these incidents.

In addition, the Police Department is aware of the protests and counter protests reportedly planned to occur the day of the event.

The safety and Constitutional rights of everyone who may choose to participate is the priority of the Police Department.

We are taking measures to ensure that everyone has the right to engage in peaceful protest.

However, we wish to remind everyone that under no circumstances will the Police Department tolerate a disruption of this event or any activity that disrupts the peace.

The department will be taking a zero-tolerance approach for those individuals who choose to attend with plans to engage in acts of violence or criminal activity.

UPDATE 3: From a Friend of McHenry County Blog:

It’s all over social media and the news. People plan on protesting and counterprotesting.  Antifa and Proud Boys could end up confronting each other again. Scroll down past the tweets and be sure to read the articles AND WATCH THE VIDEO.

UPDATES 8, 9 & 10: Special Price for Under 13 at Lake in the Hills Saturday Night Drag Brunch, Protests & Counter Protests Planned for Sold Out Event, Bakery Vandalized, Suspect Arrested, Show CANCELED — 40 Comments

  1. People obviously concerned about child molesters, grooming, homos and transvestites.

    Likely this bakery also packs ‘fudge’.

  2. Glad it was cancelled….

    I hope the bakery goes out of business …

    I think it was a publicity stunt to attract customers

    this whole drag show for kids is just a method for grooming run by pedophiles

  3. Now this story is looking mighty suspicious.

    They got what they wanted (lots of publicity for this sodomite agenda).

    And does anyone actually believe the name of the owner?

    Critical thinking seems to be bereft for most.

    Methinks Cal has been part of the programming agenda to hoodwink the masses yet again.

  4. bill matteson, Thank You.

    I was even thinking, a “set up”, for a lawsuit?

  5. Corrina should have taken my advice to cover all the bases.

    Take a sliver of a Butterfinger candy bar, with a squiggly on top of Hersey syrup placed on a gigantic white plate.

    Call it the Travesti de Crème Francais or whatever, get a 1 Star Michelin and watch the reservations go to an 18 month wait.

  6. Somebody didn’t like capitalism.

    Don’t like a business?

    Don’t shop there.

    Even organize a boycott.

    But this response is some unamerican nazi bull.

    Night of broken glass nonsense.

    @slapdyck – if people were concerned about child molesters and groomers they’d be marching on the churches first.

  7. The MSM eating this story up is all you need to know.

    Their agenda to push deviant behavior out to the public who has no clue what Project Mockingbird is has been achieved.

    Maybe our resident lobbyist who pushed for this queer agenda in Springfield can chime in. LOL

  8. They are doing fundraising on all of this.

    Thousands of people from all over are now supporting their business and it’s going viral.

    They are trying to get a demonic foothold through our communities and profit off it as well.

    And profit off of exploiting kids.

    As far as that graffiti on the outside wall, I’m going to go out on a limb and call this a false flag in order to paint Moms like me, or concerned citizens as ‘extremists!’

    NO true Christian I know would spray paint Christ is King.

    And do hurtful things.

    “ And a homophoc slur was spray painted”

    This was NOT about that at all!!

    It’s about targeting and grooming children!

  9. MegMom – mutiple people on this blog, who are on your “side”, have used homophobic slurs in relation to this story.

  10. Nefarious (Lowitski) lgbtqxzy are pervs, plain and simple.

    The first suspect of the vandalism: Sac, the simp who will profit from it!

  11. Dave, go feed your future ex-wife an apple and a carrot.

    You lobbied for this LGBTQ crap in Springfield and tout it as an accomplishment.

    Liberal creep.

    Noone thinks this deviant behavior is acceptable.

    Well everyone except you Dave and your liberal friends.

  12. I did lobby for marriage equality. Proudly. And we won.

    And an overwhelming bipartisan majority in Congress agrees with me.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  13. Looks like some people will have to look for a new BaQueery to get their cream filled doughnuts.

  14. And, JT, your complete inability to talk to me about issues, and instead focus on your ignorant views of me and my personal life don’t make me look bad. But they tell us a helluva lot about you.

  15. If your comment reads like “I just think queer people are demonic pedophiles sent by Satan himself, is that so crazy?”

    The answer is yes, you probably have schizophrenia and should see a psychiatrist, this is not a joke, the entire idea is divorced from reality and you’ve lost your mind.

    Seek help

  16. Dave it was a cute photo.

    After spending a few years with you I bet she won’t be grinning ear to ear.

    Here’s an issue.

    I don’t sell my integrity like you to push the minority agenda so my kids can go to college.

    I retired with mine 100% intact.

    Gay marriage and higher taxes?

    Who supports that?

    You obviously.

    I didn’t work for companies I didn’t agree with and quit many over the years.

    There are people like you that will do anything it takes to make a buck hence you became a parasitic lobbyist.

    There’s an issue Dave.

    You will sell yourself out regardless if the people of this state are against higher taxes and the queer agenda.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings with my opinion.

  17. You won in Springfield. Clarence Thomas, however, begs to differ.

  18. Public schools in Illinois might start teaching young children a number of sexual and deviant matters per the Keeping Youth Safe and Healthy Act (SB 818)

    Left wingers, liberals, and Democrats sometimes choose a nice sounding term or a name for bills that create laws that are contrary to, 180 degrees opposite, of what the name or title suggests.

    That is the “Keeping Youth Safe and Healthy Act (SB 818)” passed in Illinois in 2021. The title sounds nice. An innocent and innocuous title. Who would not want to keep youth safe and healthy.

    But within that bill, school children as young as eight will learn about gender identity and sexual orientation. Children as young as eleven will learn about different types of sex, sexual exploitation, and trafficking.

    Children will also learn about deviant sexual acts.

    These topics are properly the domain of parents and parental education of their children at an appropriate age and maturity.

    Parents’ authority might well be usurped by teachers in schools.

  19. Literally laughing out loud at JT thinking I’ve sold my integrity.

    You don’t know me. At all.

    But as we know you love to opine about many things you don’t know or understand.

    I don’t work for my clients because they pay me.

    I work for my clients because I seek out the organizations that work on issues that I care about.

    I haven’t had a client I disagree with.

    Try another line of attack on me.

  20. Sure Dave/Nefarious. You support queers and higher taxes. You are part of the problem in IL Dave. Laugh all you want at me as your kids are taught about pronouns as you take money through your business to push the liberal agenda/cause to whore to our politicians. Zero integrity lobbyists. You gotta love em.

    “I work for my clients because I seek out the organizations that work on issues that I care about.” Damn Dave, I bet your neighbors love a tax raising queer supporting guy like you. Where I live you would be the liberal on the block that no one agrees with. We have one of your cousins on my street.

Over the years he has developed strong relationships with legislators on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers, legislative staff, the Governor’s Office, and state agencies. He has helped advocate and organize around numerous budget and policy issues, including the tax increase campaign in 2010-2011, Medicaid expansion, minimum wage, marriage equality, the abolition of the death penalty, Secure Choice, and individual state programs such as the Child Care Assistance Program, the Home Services Program, and the Community Care Program.

    He has also played large roles leading and coordinating coalitions, including acting as the legislative chair of Illinois Unites for Marriage (the coalition for marriage equality that included LGBT, labor and community organizations), legislative chair of A Better Illinois (the Fair Tax campaign that included labor, community, and social service organizations), on the steering committee of the Responsible Budget Coalition, and as a lead with Raise Illinois (the minimum wage coalition of policy, labor, and community organizations).

    Dave brings specific expertise in the budget and appropriations process, bill drafting and analysis, and bill negotiation, and has developed legislative and policy expertise in numerous areas, including:

    Budget and appropriations
    Revenue
    General health care and Medicaid

    Hospitals
    Child care
    Labor issues
    He also has experience working on and with numerous electoral campaigns, including serving as Campaign Manager, general consulting, mail development, developing policy platforms and strategic plans, and, of course, knocking on many, many doors.

    When Dave isn’t working, he’s probably hanging out with his two incredible kids or watching baseball. Or both.

  21. JT isn’t obsessed with me.

    He just keeps posting my bio. HAHAHAHA!

    And yea – I’ll keep laughing.

    With my integrity intact.

  22. Sure Creepy Dave/Nefarious. I’m obsessed with a tax raising queer marriage supporting parasite like you that takes money to push your agenda on IL taxpayers that don’t agree with it. Feed your future ex-wife an apple or a carrot..

  23. Thanks for posting JT.

    He’s on the roundup database.

    Glyphosulfate!

  24. Nefarious Lowitksi, you sold out your nation, for 30 pieces of silver.

    Happy Wedding Day! Doomed marriage!

    Instead of rice, will everybody throw soy beans?

    Or something like sheckles?

  25. Who are your clients shake? Nut jobs, far left wing radicals? Are there any honest, law abiding, conservative type people seeking, using your services?

  26. Bred. Shakes client list is on his website.

    Creepy liberal parasites.

    Once you look at that Google Marc Avelar.

    That’s your resident John Lopez post deleter that Cal gave admin access to his site.

  27. Don’t worry Monk you dope smoking fool. Tick tock on the Gregg Phillips drop. You blue pills are so clueless it’s priceless. Now go make Dave a sandwich moron.

  28. NefariousShake, I am only responsible for what I post.

    Not the hateful frustrated drivel of goons on this blog.

    The vandalism should not have happened.

    But with that in mind, the guy is from Alsip, which is 68 miles away in southern cook county.

    The city of Alsip for the last 54 years has voted 99.22% blue.

    To me this could possibly be a setup by the left and he’s a paid agitator.

    Alsip is currently 99.87% democrat.

    The house he lives in was last purchased 3 yrs before he was born.

    So he either lives at home or he rents and keeps a very tidy little ranch home with a manicured lawn.

    Judging by the looks of this guy, I would say he’s a basement dweller and wouldn’t have wasted the gas money to drive over an hour away to vandalize a stupid little restaurant unless he was getting some serious weed money.

    It’s my instinct telling me this is a false flag to make all who oppose the child exploiters and groomers look like extremists.

    Could this be another Jussie Smollet hate crime that wasn’t a hate crime at all but rather a set-up to revive a failing career/business?

    Time will tell.

  29. Absolutely, Meg.

    Every single incident ‘reported’ in ANY news source needs to be looked at with critical thinking. Something that is seriously lacking in these nefarious times.

  30. When every single “story” brought out by the “news” is purposefully placed to gin up subtle anger, you really have to look at how they are brainwashing the masses to react to their constant barrage of reactive publicity. We’ve seen it for many years but we are now at the apex of gaslighting. It is ALL a continuation of the distortion that the world is so dangerous you need to be frightened of everything and everyone.

    They want a world of angry frightened people so that they can control you.

    You fight back with your own God-given discernment and listen to your conscience instead of the orchestrators.

    Stop allowing the fear peddlers to control your mind.

  31. Keep trying Cindy. Some take a blue pill every morning not realizing 1 red pill will cure what ails their mind.

  32. *AHEM!*

    Greg Phillips has been working hard on this with True The Vote since…(crickets)… 2013. Almost 10 years now…….. Ten years of attracting attention and donating patrons with zero results.

    Expect Bobby Q to break this sh*t wide open any day now!

  33. Cindy, you always sound angry and frightened. Who’s controlling you?

  34. Sure Monk, just like you proved the Salvi’s don’t pay their fair share of property taxes. Go back to drinking your bong water.

  35. I thought Bobby Q was gonna break that thing wide open too!

    And where is Greg Phillips proof too, 10 years along?
