Can I use psuedo elements as an argument to a scss mixin?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have a mixin that I'm referencing an "element" as the argument.



@mixin themeParent ($child) {
&--blue #{$child} {
color: getColour("theme", "bluehighlight");
}

&--green #{$child} {
color: getColour("theme", "greenhighlight");
}

&--purple #{$child} {
color: getColour("theme", "purplehighlight");
}

&--gossamer #{$child} {
color: getColour("theme", "gossamerhighlight");
}

&--black #{$child} {
color: getColour("theme", "black");
}
}


This works fine if I am referencing an a or a p for example



HTML



<div class="div--blue">
<a>blue link</a>
</div>


SCSS



div {
@include themeParent(a);
}


But I want also use the mixin for psuedo elements eg.



div {
@include themeParent(a:hover);
}


or



 div {
@include themeParent(>a:hover);
}


div {
@include themeParent(&:first-child);
}


is this possible?
Why is what I'm doing making SCSS not happy :-(
