A professional football club in Australia has apologised after promoting a singles night for straight people only at one of its games.
The Western Sydney Wanderers on Monday announced their April 4 match against Perth Glory would be a singles night. In an advertisement, the A-League club said ‘everyone is welcome’ to the night, but added: ‘Please note this is a heterosexual event.’
After the advert sparked a fierce reaction on social media, with some commentators alleging it breached anti-discrimination laws, the Wanderers apologised, saying the controversial wording had been removed.
But while they insisted ‘no-one is excluded’, the club appeared to stand by their plan that the event is designed for heterosexuals only, and said they could host singles nights for LGBTQI fans in future.
OH fuck !!! … I’ll get back to this later ! …
