“My friend went to the toilet while my other friend went around the club. So I was left alone for a while. A guy came up to me to inform me to go by the bar immediately but as I was explaining myself that I cannot leave my friends, the bouncers came and threw me out of the club,” he vented in the video.

He went on to say when he stood by the door the bouncers told him to stand far away from it.

“As I was still confused as to what happened, I then realised that I was victimised because of the fact that I am queer,” he explained.
