A suburban café is at the center of an ongoing controversy over their plans to host a family-friendly drag show., UpRising Bakery and Café in Lake in the Hills, located 40 miles northwest of Chicago, is now being told it cannot host any future live events.Since announcing her plans to host the family-friendly drag show on Facebook, UpRising’s owner Corinna Sac has received angry phone and online messages.
Police soon arrested 24-year-old Joseph Collins of southwest suburban Alsip and charged him with a hate crime. “It is essential for UpRising to be able to host these events. It is what bridges the gap in our daily sales to make sure we can pay our rent, pay our taxes and pay our employees,” Sac said in a Facebook video posted Saturday. “At no time up until last Thursday were we told that our building was not zoned to do any sort of event. I feel like this is discrimination and a conspiracy to interfere with my business.
