Artists Boycott Gayborhood Bar After It Prevented Palestinian Burlesque Artist From Performing - Eater Philly
"On Saturday evening, Gayborhood performers and community members protested outside of local bar Tabu (254 S. 12th Street) following the venue’s recent decision to keep a Palestinian burlesque dancer from performing their act. Leila Delicious, a queer Palestinian-American artist, was denied entry to perform at Tabu because she brought a prop sign with her that read 'Our generation will free Palestine' on the front and 'Biden, demand a ceasefire. If you support genocide, you Isreal dumb!' on the back. After other performers at the bar failed to convince Tabu’s management to reconsider their decision to not let Delicious perform, the performer says she eventually left, and shared her experience on social media." - Ernest Owens
