A woman is claiming she was ejected and banned from attending a performance at New York City’s Lincoln Center because she wouldn’t remove an anti-Trump sign from her clothing.
Jenny Heinz complained to The New York Times that she was asked to leave David Geffen Hall this month when she went to see the Budapest Festival Orchestra — because she had the huge sign attached to her jacket.
The 8-by-11-inch sign read “No! In the name of humanity we refuse to accept a fascist America.” She said she’s been wearing it ever since she attended a protest outside Trump Tower in November, and refuses to take it off.
Lincoln Center officials refunded Heinz’s ticket in full, but maintain a code of decency attendees are required to maintain.
Heinz said the center’s vice president for concert halls and operations told her during a meeting with her lawyer that signs were not allowed inside the performance halls or on the plaza.
