NY Venue Cancels BLEXIT Event Contract Due to ‘Hate Speech’ and ‘Homophobia’
Turning Point USA’s BLEXIT Faces Venue Controversy
Turning Point USA’s BLEXIT had to find a new location for their Liberation Tour event after the Music Hall of Williamsburg canceled their rental agreement, citing “hate speech” and “homophobia.”
The cancellation came just days before the event, which was set to feature speakers like Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum.
In a statement, the venue condemned BLEXIT, accusing the organization of promoting hate speech and homophobia. They made it clear that they would not tolerate such behavior and canceled the rental contract.
BLEXIT responded with their own statement, accusing the Music Hall of Williamsburg of caving to the “woke mob” and denying them the use of their venue.

According to BLEXIT’s statement, the venue claimed their staff were being doxxed, protests were planned, and they feared for their safety. BLEXIT called this behavior disgraceful and cowardly.
Despite the setback, Turning Point USA’s Founder and CEO Charlie Kirk clarified that the event would go on as planned at a new venue. He vowed not to let the radical left terrorize them and declared, “We’ll see you in NYC tomorrow.”

Director of BLEXIT, Pierre Wilson, expressed shock at the Music Hall of Williamsburg’s decision, stating that canceling a group primarily composed of Black Americans because of differing perspectives is not valuing diverse voices. He called the cancellation an example of hate and intolerance and criticized it as cancel culture at its worst.
