Sydney’s soon-to-launch gay bar Pink Pony has changed its Instagram handle to "new.name.coming" following online backlash that accused the venue of culturally appropriating a song by a lesbian artist about inclusivity while at the same time marketing itself primarily towards gay men.

Pink Pony, the new Sydney club set to take over management of Flash's former Oxford Street venue Two 3 One, will "unashamedly" position itself as being for gay men aged 18-35, feature dance pop and harder house/tech style music, and undergo a revamp before opening at the start of summer.

Beau Lamarre-Condon has declared "the truth will prevail" during a court hearing in Sydney, where he confirmed his not guilty pleas to the alleged domestic violence-related murders of former Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird and his boyfriend, Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies.
