I am writing to share an experience, during a recent visit to one of your events, which left us feeling quite uncomfortable and disappointed. We have been regular attendees at your parties and have always appreciated the space you provide for the community. This is why the situation we encountered at the entrance was particularly disheartening. Upon arrival, we were met by a staff member at the front desk who, from the outset, appeared unfriendly and dismissive. Without any clear reason, he didn’t let us in. And kicked us out. It is just because he felt of so called “impression”. we were accused of carrying prohibited substances and subjected to what felt like an invasive and unwarranted search. This included our belongings being checked and even our jackets being smelled, which we found both inappropriate and humiliating. But he couldn’t get anything still he didn’t get us in. He was racist and rude. We fully understand and respect the need for safety and adherence to venue policies. However, the manner in which this was handled felt disproportionate and lacking in basic respect and professionalism. It created a sense of being unfairly targeted, which is especially concerning in a space that is meant to be inclusive and welcoming. We value SLM and want to continue supporting local community spaces, but experiences like this make it difficult to feel comfortable returning. Never gonna return to such places where they shows racism.
