Lauren Boebert's Theater Date Hosted a Drag Show at His Bar
Lauren Boebert was kicked out of the Beetlejuice Musical in Denver for reportedly vaping, being loud, and recording during the show. Many wondered who was Boebert's date who held her purse and held her hand as she twirled outside during their walk away from the theater.

The individual is reportedly Quinn Gallagher, co-owner of Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, Colorado and they reportedly have been dating for months.

Gallagher, whose family is from Rifle, Colorado, is dating Boebert, which may have some questioning his tastes. During a 2022 interview, Gallagher said the best burger in the valley was at McDonald's, which along with an orange Gatorade was his go-to hangover cure. There is no way that McDonald's is the best burger in the area. Questionable judgment confirmed.
Boebert is known for her antics and generating negative headlines about herself. The Colorado representative barely squeaked by in her re-election bid by 546 votes.
In January, Hooch hosted "A Winter Wonderland Burlesque and Drag Show" sponsored by Aspen Distillers and Aspen Vodka.

Boebert's Republican Party has demonized drag shows as part of their culture war distraction campaign, and Boebert herself has specifically threw shade at "drag bars." Now Boebert is dating someone who hosted a drag show at his bar.

Aspen Gay Ski Week has also used Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar to host an event in the past. Republicans are still using divisive politics to marginalize LGBTQ individuals.
Gallagher risks losing a good size chunk of his customer base. Boebert lost Pitkin Country, home of Aspen, 79.2% to 20.7%. Lauren Boebert isn't very popular out there in Aspen.

Earlier this year, Lauren Boebert complained about the people moving to Aspen and other resort towns and claimed they don't want freedom.
For Republicans, it's ok for them to date folks who host drag shows at their bar, or dress up in drag themselves as in the case of George Santos, but publicly their party attacks drag performers. Republicans do next to nothing to redirect their followers from spreading hateful rhetoric and threats towards drag performers.
