  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

print(pd.Series([1], index=pd.Index([False])).loc[False]) # Works i.e. returns 1
print(pd.DataFrame([[1]], index=pd.Index([False])).loc[False]) # Works i.e. returns [1]
print(pd.DataFrame([[1]], columns=pd.Index([False])).loc[:, False]) # Fails

Issue Description

You can select a single row from a DataFrame by supplying a boolean key to loc, but not a single column. This seems inconsistent.

Expected Behavior

Return the relevant column
