CHICAGO — A bakery that faced harassment and vandalism after advertising for a family-friendly drag show is now being threatened with code violations if it hosts any future events, according to a letter sent from the far northwest suburb to the bakery’s owner.
The letter was sent to Corinna Sac, owner of UpRising Bakery and Cafe in Lake in the Hills, Illinois, on Friday by the village, spurring a response from the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois condemning the village’s actions.
“Our hands are being tied and our backs are being forced up against the wall by our landlord and the village of Lake in the Hills,” Sac said in a video posted to social media, in which she grows emotional as she says she canceled two upcoming events.
