Some conservatives are calling for a boycott of the Dave & Buster’s restaurant chain over its sponsoring of a pride event featuring drag queens.
The event is being held by NEW Pride, a group advocating LGBT rights in Wisconsin, and is being held throughout the afternoon and evening on Sept. 23. Dave & Buster’s, an arcade restaurant chain in the vein of Chuck E. Cheese, is listed as a sponsor of the event, according to a post on social media.

“Saturday, September 23rd we are welcoming all ages to the Brown County Fair Grounds,” the social media post reads. “Here is the peak at our Saturday schedule. FOUR drag shows, THREE bands, and so much more. We can’t wait!”
The post on Instagram was shared on X, the platform once known as Twitter, where conservatives condemned the event and Dave & Buster’s for sponsoring it. Some also called for a boycott of the brand in the same vein as Anheuser-Busch, which reported a massive financial loss earlier this year following a partnership it announced with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
