This month's Cincinnati Guerrilla Queer Bar event took place at Million's, sibling bar to Mount Lookout Tavern. Not unlike queerings past, women were allowed to dance on the stage or poles but men were not, resulting in the use of force against a gay man.

Many men were asked to leave the stage and were pulled down by a bouncer. Some tried to resist, but it wasn't until a pair refused to leave the stage that the situation began to escalate, as evidenced in the video below.

The man was escorted out of the bar, but was quickly allowed back in by the manager, giving the man and his companion complimentary shots. After this, no more men were escorted off the women-only dancing stage.

When questioned, a man who identified himself as one of the managers of the bar said, "It is just the policy of bars in this area [to not allow men on the stage]."

That translates to, "The stage is reserved for the objectification of women."
