Broken Window, Strong Spirit

If you are hoping to help us cover the costs of our window repair we truly appreciate a contribution of any size from the bottom of our hearts! If we have any excess money or exceed our goal any remaining donations will be donated to Diverse and Resilient!

“The evening of June 22nd around 11:15PM someone threw this massive rock through one of our front windows. Luckily, no one was injured. Had there been anyone sitting in the seats inside the window or a staff member working behind that half of the bar this would've been a really different story.

To the person that threw the rock, conveniently through the window with our trans pride flag hanging and our "PRIDE IS STILL PROTEST" poster. You suck.

Sugar has always been and will always be a safe place for every member of the LGBTQIA+ community. You can hide behind your cowardice of late night vandalism but we will continue to shine bright and proud in the light of day.

If you think that our staff or members or the queer community will be intimidated by this act of violence you have clearly never seen a drag queen do a back flip into a split in 8in heels. We are stronger. We are tougher. And we are more resilient than you know. We are the many and you are the few.

If you are struggling to feel accepted because of who you love, who you know you are or the color of your skin you will, now and always, have a home at Sugar Maple. If you are struggling to accept someone because of who they love, who they know they are or the color of their skin. Please. Pick up a book instead of a rock.

To our friends and family, come buy a drink. We need to pay for this damn window.
