""unashamedly be targeted at the boys, pretty much 18 to 35""
""Of course the girls will be welcome, but it would certainly be our desire that it is predominantly gay boys, and when I say predominantly, I'm sort of talking 90 per cent plus," Lewis, 57, explained."
""Hopefully all gay venues are accepting of the full spectrum of our community, we are just being honest and open about our reason for being and our target demographic and preferred clientele.""
A new Sydney venue initially named Pink Pony, taking its name from Chappell Roan's song, faced backlash after owners said it would have a "preferred clientele" of young gay men. Owners Kevin Du-Val and manager Michael Lewis described intentions for the space to be predominantly gay men aged roughly 18–35 and mentioned legal limits on vetting patrons. The venue changed its Instagram handle and announced a rebrand following criticism from the local LGBTQ+ community. Critics called the decision embarrassing and tone deaf, noting the name referenced a lesbian artist who might not fit the stated preferred demographic.
