The Palace, an iconic hot spot in South Beach, has become the target of homophobic and transphobic threats. An Instagram user recently wrote a vicious message on the venue’s account.
“I hope y’all end up like Pulse.”
The user was referring to the June 12, 2016 massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando. It was Latin night. A gunman killed 49 people and wounded 53. The FBI deemed it a terrorist attack.
Thomas Donall, the owner of the Palace, said the hateful messages began after Angela Stanton-King, a conservative Republican politician from Georgia, got upset because parents allowed girls to interact with a drag queen during a public performance.

Sick. Twisted. Busybody.
