| Comment | As a femme lesbian, I’m sad to say this still happens. I’ve been refused for this exact reason in three different occasions. I’ve been knocked back with no explanation countless times, even when I’ve shown up with my male, gay friends. Funnily enough, I’ve heard from a lot of butch lesbians that they also regularly get knocked back. Polo seems to want the “right kind of gay” on the dance floor, and it’s an absolute minefield to get in if you don’t conform to a certain stereotype. My fashion sense has evolved into something slightly more gender neutral over lockdown, so I’ll be interested to see if I still get knocked back regularly or if I now find it easier to get past the bouncers. |
