Cortland said to PinkNews that the review was shocking, but unsurprising, adding that they believe it "illustrates the hateful, bigoted, and oftentimes scary nonsense that trans and non-binary people have to deal with."
"We saw this review come in and my co-founder and I wanted to very clearly denounce it while also showing support for our team members." Cortland reiterated the bar's commitment to inclusivity.
The cocktail bar reiterated its support for trans and non-binary people in the social media post, noting that the individual had amended the review "after it flagged for hate speech."
"As a founder, I often get asked about why creating inclusive spaces is..." Cortland emphasized the importance of providing safe spaces for queer individuals.
