A Sydney nightclub inspired by Chappell Roan’s hit “Pink Pony Club” is facing fierce backlash for calling itself a “boys-only” gay bar. Despite Roan’s song celebrating a place “where boys and girls can all be queens,” venue owner Michael Lewis told Gay Sydney News he wants the clientele to be “90% plus gay boys.” Critics called the move exclusionary and untrue to Roan’s inclusive message. After days of online criticism—and allegations the club was blocking dissenters—the bar’s Instagram was wiped, now promising a “new name coming soon.” Still, as one commenter put it: “Imagine renaming your club instead of being more inclusive.”
