The federal takeover is being blamed for fewer people coming out to clubs and bars in Northwest.
Several owners say they’ve lost thousands of dollars because people stayed home or went somewhere else to avoid the intimidating sight.
The problems started Wednesday night with traffic stops on 14th Street just a block north of Crush Dance Bar.
Co-owner Stephen Rutgers said it deterred people from coming out last week into the weekend.

Perruzza even had a drag queen who didn’t want to come to work.

Didn't you read the article? They're staying home.
Winning!
I really don’t believe this.
“I think it just means that they’re lying to prop up a narrative.”
That makes sense. If there was ever a woke business, it would be a gay bar. I would guess that obvious gays would be far more subject to assault and robbery than a more macho looking man. Therefore, business should be up rather than down as a result of more enforcement visible on the streets. It’s for certain nobody in uniform is going to harass a swishy gay guy. My experience in talking to uniformed law enforcement is they try to avoid idiotic confrontations. They’re taught to deescalate rather than confront.
DC gay bar owners report thousands in losses due to federal presence
Women and children NOT hardest hit.
What about gay biker bars?
As I remember Republican Congressman John LeBoutillier was dishing that kind of dirt on fellow Republican Congressman Gary Condit in the Chandra Levy scandal.
Of course LeBoutillier also linked Morning Joe with Condit as being buddies.
They did have dead interns in common.
In fact Condit, Morning Joe, and Bubba belong to the Dead Interns Society.
I was shocked by LeBoutillier’s statement about Condit being associated with gay bikers because he said it on camera and I believe it was on Faux News who had an obsession with dead blondes at the time although I don’t believe Chandra Levy was blonde.
Point is if the gay bars are not getting traffic then there are lot of lonely elected politicians who routinely spend their off hours cruisin’ that scene.
Any comment from Bath House Barry?
“This is Daniel Hamburg, reporting from Sodom and Gomorrah.”
The inhouse drug supplier is taking the week off until things cool down and the customers won’t risk bringing their own party favors.
Federal officers have been specifically told to keep their eyes open for anyone with a lisp.
I can hardly hold back the tears!
Graham probably has his delivered. No need to go out.
With the increased arrests one MAY draw the conclusion that a great number of those being arrested are gay as well as being criminals.
JMO, YMMV
Then I would suspect that drugs and drunk driving are keeping the pillow biters at home. It’s not worth the risk.
“Does this mean that a lot of the gays are illegal aliens?
Or does this mean that a lot of gays have arrest records?”
[or outstanding warrants ...]
my first thoughts as well ... otherwise, makes little sense ... ordinarily, one would think that the pansies would feel safer ...
“DC gay bar owners report thousands in losses due to federal presence”
is there ANYTHING our President can’t do?
What?
I love it when I go into a restaurant, bar, or anywhere that’s filled with Police.
Do you ever see mass shootings at a Gun Show? Same reasons you don’t see idiots doing things in front of multiple armed officers. It’s about as safe as it gets.
(Shelves of unsold Schlitz malt liquor.)
I would have guessed Gay Bud Light...
Transgenders hardest hit ...
