"We humbly apologise to all of our loyal customers for any offence caused," Executive Chairman Philip Miller said in a statement. "There was confusion between us and the act as to what we would allow or not as it were."

He admitted that the "grinding act" was "most definitely a nonstarter as we are ostensibly a family park and that is just not family entertainment."

"Rest assured we will not be rebooking this act or participate in any future PRIDE celebrations," Miller added. "It's just not for us. We tried to be inclusive but it has backfired on us."
