However, on reaching the entrance, he was asked to return the bag to his car before he could be allowed in.

The bouncer, who gave him these orders, is reported to have told Kirk that "men do not carry purses, they carry bags," before telling him it should have been left in the car.

“I was told my bag was too large, and I could put my wallet in my pocket, return my bag back to the car, and then I could come in,” Kirk wrote in a Facebook post.

He informed the security guy that he was not carrying a bag but a purse (murse) and he would not put it back in the car.

He then asked to speak to the supervisor who apparently agreed with the bouncer.

"While this was happening we pointed out at least 10 women carrying bags large enough to carry small toddlers, and three backpacks, their reply? 'Women need their purses, yours is just a bag.'" he added.

He then demanded to speak to the general manager who even worsened the situation by claiming men might carry explosives in their purses.

"They were worried that a man carrying a bag may have explosives. Explosives? You’re kidding me? Because I’m gay, I’m carrying a man purse, now I may carry explosives? (sic)" he questioned.

After agreeing to a search, Kirk was finally let in but still maintained the Casino's social media pages blocked him and others from commenting after his post went viral.
