What about pro-LGBT rappers like CupcaKke for instance, this limits her exposure as I know a lot of gay people request her in their clubs in the US

Exactly. There are so many rappers the gays stan. Cardi, Nicki, Iggy etc. I personally am not the biggest fan of any of them but their music sounds totally normal at a gay bar. Not to mention up and coming artists the gays use like Lizzo and City Girls. I’d rather hear all of them at a bar than a Britney song.

Yeah which is why I commented because the bar was accused of racism. Although, I think companies are doing things like this on purpose to get people talking about them.

The policy is a little different than personal taste, but you could be right about that publicity bit. This is probably not the best light to be in, though..

What is the reasoning?

Its just weird that they would ban someone just for requesting and they have security next to the DJ? This is a joke! why dont they tell the DJ to not play rap songs instead of all this?

Probably because they know it doesn't look good if they out-right ban rap music, so they're basically saying if you play it, you won't be back in our bar. We weren't supposed to see that email in the OP.

Weren't there clubs that only play certain music genres only, such as Jazz, Country, Hip Hop, etc. Why should this one be excluded if they are wanting to change direction to only play pop music? :oprah:

Banning rap isn't about racism, it's about  having a good taste in music.

But this is a gay club and intersectionality tells us that there are gay rap artists and gay icons who are rap artists.

This is not only banning a type of music but also a type of people who enjoy a type of music.

The racism in the gay community is already exposed by dating apps. “No fats, no fems, no rice, no chocolate or spice”

Also, ”Good taste” is subjective. And many view pop music as easy-money grabbing trash on the radio.

@FATCAT, I do appreciate your patience but I am very disappointed to see people are being completely ignorant. 

I hope, people at least make an attempt to learn what is Racism and how culture works. 

Period.

What is wrong with people? Cannot bars choose their own music? It's not that different that rock bars doesn't want to play Britney Spears, or heavy metal bars won't play Katy Perry? 

How in the hell is this considered as racist? :saladga:
