Detroit and Lansing coffee shops temporarily close due to threats

https://www.wxyz.com/news/extremely-disturbing-coffee-shops-in-detroit-lansing-close-after-receiving-threats

DETROIT (WXYZ) — Three coffee shops in Detroit and Lansing have closed their doors after receiving concerning letters filled with anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and hate speech directed toward various groups.

The Gathering Coffee Co. on Grand Boulevard in Detroit came upon the letter on Feb. 22 and has been shut down ever since.

Strange Matter Coffee in Lansing got theirs Tuesday. Both shops can't help but feel like they were targeted for their stance on inclusivity.

"Today was definitely one of my hardest days, especially heading into opening," said Emily Steffen, the owner of The Gathering Coffee Co.
