Frank Carter Ejects Fan From Women-Only Pit, Dad Says He Deserved It

WHAT WENT DOWN

Frank Carter called a women-only pit at a Sex Pistols show in Denver, a man walked into it anyway and argued back, and security walked him out ^*, ^‡, ^¶. The next day the man's father messaged Carter to apologize ^*, ^§, ^¶.

THE DETAILS

• Oct. 9 at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Carter opened a women-only pit before "No Feelings" ^‡, ^¶.
• A male attendee objected, and the two went back and forth for several minutes before Carter called security ^¶.
• Carter onstage: "It's not your lived experience so just shut the fuck up" ^¶.
• On Instagram Stories he called the pit "a trans inclusionary space" and told offended men to "Stay home, read a book by Bell Hooks" ^*, ^§, ^¶.
• The father wrote: "that was my idiotic son" and said his daughters were upset with him ^*, ^§, ^¶.

THE TAKE

Carter has been calling these pits since his Rattlesnakes days, so the policy was not improvised for the Pistols run ^‡. The tour continues through a Hollywood finale on Oct. 18 ^*.
