Alleged homophobia at Neon

Two male students were recently thrown out of a Leamington nightclub by security for kissing, it has been alleged.

Reportedly, the students were sharing an intimate moment in Neon, when they were filmed, mocked and forcibly removed from the club by members of security.

The full details of the incident are not yet clear, however the allegations that nightclub bouncers were homophobic towards two members of the same sex have concerned some Warwick students.

A second-year student, who wished to remain anonymous, argued that heterosexual couples are seen kissing every night at Neon and are left alone by the bouncers, and that an attempt to throw out a same-sex couple for acting in the same way is nothing but an act of homophobia.

A second-year English Literature student, who also wished to remain anonymous, hoped that the students affected are getting enough support from those around them.

“I also hope this will be thoroughly investigated and that the staff responsible will be held to account,” the student added.

“Everyone should be able to enjoy their night out without fear of bigotry.”

The Boar has contacted Neon about the incident but is yet to receive a response.
