The majority owner of Equinox's parent corporation, Related Companies, is hosting a high-ticket fundraiser for Donald Trump. But for some gay men, it's not easy to leave a place that felt like home.

,"What's your policy for canceling memberships once a member finds out your owner is enabling racism and mass murder?""Money talks, especially with these monsters. If it's too inconvenient for u to trade one LUXURY GYM for another, then you should be ashamed," he wrote, adding that he meant no disrespect to Equinox employees caught up in the controversy.

He also questioned the"unwritten rules" of a boycott:"If I'm paid up through the end of the month, does going to Equinox until then make me a hypocrite? If Equinox agrees to make an equivalent donation to the eventual Democratic candidate would that make up for it?"
