He added: “We had posted our door policy on Facebook and, as soon as it was posted, the hate messages started.”Īmes also disputed the reasons why the man was turned away. Responding to his since-deleted Facebook post, Ames told PinkNews that it was “written out of frustration at abhorrent vitriolic messages I received over XXL’s door policy via e-mail, phone calls and at the venue personally,” after it was reported that a man was not allowed in to the club for wearing heels.Īmes said the post was online for a “matter of minutes” before it was removed. Poppers also questioned whether the club would allow entry to trans men “if they are not ‘passable’ and really masculine looking.” Poppers has organised a protest in response to XXL owner Mark Ames’ now-deleted Facebook post.
“Their dress code states things like ‘no overly feminine hairstyles.’ Who has the right to define these things? And is this individual so afraid of femme expressions that he just can’t handle a pair of heels in his club? Does it make a difference if a man has flats or heels in an environment like this? This is pure privilege.” “ is telling performers like me, that I’m worthy of being booked to be looked at, but not worthy of their service,” Poppers added. She argued that XXL books drag queens to perform at the club, even though these artists wouldn’t be allowed entry to the venue-when dressed in drag-as guests. “I am not here saying that XXL shouldn’t exist, I am here to show people what they are supporting and how toxic masculinity and internalised homophobia are still such big issues.” “The original intention for this protest is to fight hate with information,” the drag queen explained. Poppers is inviting protestors to bring along items of clothing that are banned at XXL. So far, 155 people have said they are attending Poppers’ protest against XXL on Facebook, with a further 511 people saying they are “interested” in the event. The gay community is the one that pays for his club, although he has been having a very negative hate speech about it,” he said. Sold by Neelamvar Offical Store and ships from Amazon Fulfillment.
