That sounds like a nuanced issue.

It is indeed nuanced!

The two nuances:

  • trans rights are human rights
  • transphobes should really just go home and do it in private if they must. but I’d rather they fucked off far from human civilisation, and then fucked off a bit more for good measure.

my gut impulses:

  1. i want to do something that supports the band
  2. i want to do something that shames the venue

is there anything I should know before I attempt to pursue these options?

Nope, just go for it.

People are flooding the Google reviews for starters.

Buy some of their music! It’s also Bandcamp Friday for another hour, so the band would get 100% of your payment.

Good for the band. Fuck that venue and the people who run it.

Watch the BC Cons gaslight the public about Sportsman’s Club hatred.
