Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, drew national attention after changing a policy that had required KN-95 masks. The shift prompted a backlash and developed into what Yahoo described as a communications crisis.
Local businesses and officials have since weighed in on the viral coverage, according to the Greenfield Recorder. The dispute also renewed discussion about the decline of lesbian bars, NewsNation reported, while a Guardian opinion column warned against turning the controversy into a broader caricature of lesbians.
