Given that banning drag shows are the thin edge of the political wedge that ends with "exterminate trans people," you'd expect a gay club to show some solidarity.

I don't have any inside knowledge, I just also saw this instagram post that says they fired the performers over text message so it seems like even the best case scenario is shitty.

The post, despite obviously being some bias there, does make sense. Workplace drama and the commented claims about Ego fostering a work environment and clientele that allows for racism and transphobia. Ego was definitely not a welcoming place as a trans woman, even though I'm white, and can imagine the talent and such there every night saw and heard a lot worse.

The LGBT community as a whole has often struggled with this so the claims aren't exactly shocking.
