Fountain Haus, in Kansas City’s Midtown Westport, an area known for its late-night entertainment, opened in April 2022 hoping to attract patrons from the local LGBTQ community. The venue hired its own security team at that time to ensure the safety of its customers, according to KSHB.
In response to the incident, Justice Horn, the chair of the Kansas City LGBTQ Commission, tweeted an image of what appeared to be an email sent by the club’s management. "...
