Homophobic Loughborough ?
Posted on 22/05/2008
A facebook group has been set up claiming cases of homophobic behaviour from the staff of numerous Loughborough clubs and pubs.
The group alledges that various nightclubs are among the culprits and that the behaviour of staff has been aimed at anyone looking the slightest bit gay or involved with female sports at all, regardless of whether they are gay or not.
The group “Loughborough Gay Flashmob 2008” plans to have a night of “big gays, being gay, doing what gay people do (or acting like it), a night full of dancing, grinding, pulling, posing for pictures, and last but not least a night full of loughborough banter!” at Lloyds, Vice Versa and Wild at a date to be confirmed.
One group member recounts a conversation with a bouncer:
Us: We havent done anything, why are you chucking us out??
Bouncer: Because youre homosexuals
Us: You cant do that!!
Bouncer: Well we just have.
Dani: Im not gay.
Bouncer. Well you can go back in then....
They then go on to explain: “It has nothing to do about us messing about. That night we all got thrown out, we were behaving just like any other idiot in there. Theyre homophobic...FACT Apparently they dont want it to become a gay bar, hence why theyre getting rid of all the gays”
