Hunter Schafer isn’t here for anyone’s transphobic nonsense.
The 23-year-old star of HBO’s hit series Euphoria was in Düsseldorf, Germany over the weekend, where a night on the town quickly soured after her assistant was allegedly denied entrance to a club because she’s trans.
Schafter, who is also trans, took to Instagram Live to call out the bouncer’s discrimination and urge others not to patronize the venue — Silq nightclub.
“[You] said my friend could not come in because she’s trans,” Schafer told the bouncer. “You’re on live with 7 million people by the way,” she added, referring to her massive Instagram following.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“It’s not safe for transgender people,” she also said.

At one point, a fan approached Schafer to offer a compliment and ask for a photo. “Thank you. I’m actually really upset at this place right now,” Schafer responded, briefly explaining what had gone down.
The fan said they’d take their business elsewhere.
“F*** Silq,” Schafer said before signing off. “Internet, do what you do. Take them out.” And it appears her tactics yielded results.
Silq responded with an apology, explaining that the bouncer had been fired as a result of the incident.
“Electronic music is love and not hate,” the venue posted, tagging Schafer. “Anyone who does not respect the principles of electronic music has no place in our colorful world. We apologize at this point to Hunter Schafer and your company for the misunderstanding at our door in the night from Saturday to Sunday. This kind of thing has no place in our world and simply must not happen. We hereby expressly distance ourselves from any form of discrimination. After a conversation with the corresponding security employee, he was kicked out today. We, the Silq are and remain a LGBT friendly club and look forward to many more great nights with you.”

Good for her

I wish gay bars would do the same to straight women and their shitty bachelor parties.

Are trans just obnoxious wherever they go?
THAT Steve
If obnoxious means not putting up with being treated badly simply for what they are and not what they do, then yeah.

While I generally think so many woke people are overbearingly obnoxious, I think denying anyone entrance to any establishment because the are trans, or look different, to be unacceptable. Discrimination is discrimination. To answer your exact question, no, I find most genuine trans people to be thoughtful and kind.

How is it obnoxious to call out someone for discrimination?
No one deserves to be treated that way just for existing as they truly are! I’m a straight guy and even I know it’s bullshit!
Why waste your time and ours posting this crap?

Yes, trans people all over are that obnoxious, entitled, and insufferable. Way oast time to remove the T from LGB.

There is not consortium that manages what goes into lgbtq+. There are no keepers of the letters ,,, So you are free to drop any group out whenever you want. But what you seem to be asking is that everyone else drop it for your comfort. And that isn’t a particularly reasonable request.

Did the title confuse you? Why are you here?

Yes, how DARE they asked to be not kicked out of a business because of who they are.
As always, your trolling is sad and weak.
powersthatbe
Just when you thought you couldn’t love Hunter anymore. Absolutely call this shit out. People like that bouncer need to be bounced!

I see two new screenames from the same told right wing troll account.
Sweetie, you aren’t subtle.
