Club Space in Miami has issued an apology after an incident that has been called Queerphobic. In August, Bruno Olmedo was at the club and dancing on one of the boxes. They were approached by security and told that the boxes are only open to women. Olmedo, who is nonbinary and had been invited on the box by a group of girls who were also dancing on it, said on Tiktok, "After arguing with them, because this is queerphobia, I get down and they kick me out along with my brother and my cousin who tried to defend me." DJ Nicolá Cruz, the headliner that evening, saw the video and shared it on his Instagram writing, "yoo @spacemiami no one should have to go through this. It's 2022. Keep your parties safe and open." The club's leadership team said that the women-only policy was implemented after men had tried aggressively flirting with women on the boxes, or in some cases stolen purses from them. They issued a statement saying, "After Saturday's incident, we have reviewed our dance box policy which will now evolve to the following: everyone, regardless of gender, is welcome to dance up there as long as they are positively contributing to the party, not being disruptive to others. To ensure that our staff and team members reflect the values of our organization, we are intensifying our staff member sensitivity training in partnership with community LGBTQIA+ organizations and will continue to do so."
