A lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, faces backlash and calls for a boycott after it eases its face mask requirements for one night each week. Fox News and PinkNews both report that the bar, Last Ditch Bar, removes its mask mandate on Saturdays, while keeping other restrictions in place outside that day.

Outlets describe the reaction within the local queer community as sharply negative. Fox News says the decision sparks “fury,” with accusations that the bar’s approach is ableist, and reports on the resulting anger and boycott efforts. PinkNews similarly reports outrage and frames the dispute around the bar’s decision to scrap mandatory masking only for a weekly time window, emphasizing the impact on community members.

Both sources agree on the core facts: Last Ditch Bar is located in Greenfield, and it changes its mask policy for Saturdays, leading to public criticism. They differ primarily in emphasis—Fox News focuses more on concerns about ableism and the intensity of the fury, while PinkNews foregrounds the boycott and community uproar.
