When we allowed Rick Steiner to return to our Convention as a vendor guest of Tony Hunter Promotions, we did not adequately take into account the impact his past words from our last event still held in the LGBTQIA+ community. We initially allowed him to return because 1) We still feel that people deserve a second chance. 2) Rick did make an apology to all parties that chose to be present. 3) We lacked any type of code of conduct/harassment policy that clearly defined our expectations as a convention participant.
"We believe people deserve a second chance....unless trannies have really hurt fee-fees!" Translation: we don't believe in 2nd chances
So he literally didn't break any of your rules but you kicked him out anyways the last time, and he's being pre-crimed the 1st chance he'd have to break an actual policy despite the fact he already apologized??
He was invited to play in Australia. On arrival, he was stripped of all his possessions and thrown in "quarantine" (jail). After the supposed quarantine period he was simply kicked out of the country again.
One of the most important tenets of religious Marxism is that there's absolutely no forgiveness possible, no matter what you do. Queer folks and their allies will hate Rick Steiner just as much 50 years from now as they do right now even if he immediately signed over his entire fortune to GLAAD and spent the rest of his life doing Truvada commercials.
I'm generally for a private company inviting whoever they want, but this seems ripe for a lawsuit if he so desired, as not being able to attend is hurting his business. The event set up a "platform" for people to advertise themselves, but are now admitting they didn't have any kind of policy or rules banning that kind of behavior. They invited him, setting a business expectation, and then arbitrarily kicked him out.

They did a similar humiliation on Djokovik.

It's true. Apologizing to them just indicates you are ready to be milked.

They must figure the risk of lawsuit is better than being harassed by trannies.
