New Delhi [India] : Indian cricketer Virat Kohli landed in controversy regarding the entry of ‘gay’ people in his restaurant ‘One8 commune.’ The star cricketer runs a chain of restaurants across Pune, Delhi and Kolkata. Their Zomato listings claim, “Stags are not allowed”. This caused an uproar among the netizens who called out Kohli for discrimination. People on social media accused him and said that this is unacceptable. Following the backlash, an LGBTQIA+ activism group called ‘Yes, We Exist’ asked the restaurant chain to make the ‘necessary changes asap’.
Netizens expressed their anger. One Twitter user wrote, “Quite shameful how @imVkohli’s restaurants have been discriminating against LGBTQ+. Truly appalling that @deepigoyal allows such blatant bigotry to deliver food on @zomato. There must be no room for this nonsense.” Another tweeted, “It sounds weird. How do they check and confirm you’re “gay” or the allowed categories? Do they need bedroom pics, medical records? It sounds like someone picked on the word “stag” and called the restaurant and created a story. Weird.”
