The anti-Semitic Facebook posts of the owner of a yet-to-open LGBTQ bar in Uptown has caused an uproar among Minneapolis Jewish and gay communities.
Its been the Titanic today: slowly sinking more and more, said Chad Kampe, the founder and director of Flip Phone Events. Since Im a local, gay Jew who does work in the community, it was my duty to call it out.
Kampe has been posting screenshots of the owners rants on his own Facebook page, just in case the owner deleted them.
The owner of Cheers Minneapolis, Emad Abed, has been responding to people on a Facebook thread that called out his anti-Semitic postings with profanity and banning them from his bar:
This community is a joke. We dont want their business or support. They can take their money to the Saloon & Gay 90. Without this group commenting on this post we will do big business and we will be the number one gay bar in town Without all the stupid losers commenting on this post Andy Birkey can take his post and shuv it up his gay ass. ❤️ this group here they are all racist, prejudice, biased and discriminatory, thats why they are not welcome in my bar. My bar will still be number one without them and without their money.

I will say I am surprised, happily so, that so many in the LGBT community are defending against this anti-Semitic bigot, who apparently, isn't even gay!
