>Shane: "He said he doesn't fuckin'-- geez! Oh no!"

>No! They can't f*cking do this whenever. Ask any one of them if they feel safe in every mosh pit!"

Carter also addressed the incident in a series of Instagram Stories on Saturday:

>"If you are a man who gets offended by a band making room for a female only moshpit then you are PART OF THE PROBLEM. Stay home, read a book by Bell Hooks, come back when kindness, compassion and empathy have landed with you. Incels, homophobes, misogynists, racists, fascists not welcome. Also this isn't up for debate. I don’t care for your pedantry. If it isn't your lived experience, don't fucking speak on it. If you are offended by being told something isn’t for you then imagine how it feels to be a woman in the current climate. And finally… When I say a Ladies only moshpit pit. I of course mean a trans inclusionary space. The space is for people who don't usually feel safe… To dance and have fun without the worry of physical, sexual or psychological violence being used against them while they are vulnerable. DO NOT LET THEM DIVIDE US."

Today is National Coming Out Day. What are some of your favorite coming out scenes on tv? Here are some of mine:

1. Ted Lasso - Colin comes out as gay to his team. Love this scene.
2. Schitt's Creek - Patrick comes out as gay to his parents. Love this scene. Patrick is usually so even-keeled that his tears in this scene get me every time.
3. Heated Rivalry - After some excruciatingly bad sex with his movie star girlfriend, girlfriend Rose has sussed out Shane is gay. Hudson Williams killed it in this scene. The crying when she asks "Have you ever been with a man?" makes me cry.
4. Glee - Santana comes out as gay to her cheer team. Brittana forever.
5. Shameless - Mickey comes out to his abusive dad.
6. Young Royals - Wille announces in a televised speech that it was him in the leaked sex video, and thus comes out to ... his entire nation.
7. Ellen Show - I know Ellen got canceled a few years back, but this really was groundbreaking. Ellen's show walked so others could run.
8. Heated Rivalry - the OTHER big coming out scene. Scott invites Kip down to the ice and celebrates with a big on-ice kiss.
9. Survivor - not every coming out scene is nice and heartwarming. This infamous scene from Survivor is very real-life. Jeff Varner heartlessly outted Zeke as transgender at tribal council. The good thing was the tribe and Jeff Probst were so disgusted they kicked Varner off the island without a vote.
10. WNBA - another real-life example I love. Paige Bueckers ended speculation about her sexuality by arriving to her draft night with gf Azzi Fudd and kissing her when she was drafted. They play on the same team now!

ETA: totally forgot some really memorable ones. I apologize. But: Pedro coming out as gay and dying of AIDS in RW San Francicso, Bunky coming out as gay in Big Brother 2 and becoming friends with ultra-conservative Kent, Rudy and Rich's odd-couple friendship in the first season of Survivor, the teens of Degrassi, and Rickie in My So-Called Life were all seminal moments.

Also forgot The American Family. The Louds had a gay son who later died of AIDS.
