Depends on the venue. A formal cellar or a bar on the weekends - hard no. But a lot of breweries now have outdoor play spaces and picnic tables for families with children

Hey Lee, have you ever been physically threatened by a man or woman in a position of power? And we know you are gay - that doesn’t give you a pass to be stupid.

Axis soldiers who didn’t fight were shot, so they didn’t get the chance to do anything else. One of the loveliest things I ever saw was my father (American WWII combat vet) become friends with a man who was a German WWII combat vet - they would drink beer and bitch about how cold the winter of 43 was.
