I couldn't find the original thread for this - sorry.

Yes this is OK if the same standards apply to everyone, but recently a gay nightclub in Sydney was legally given the right to ban straight people and females from their premises.

I believe that a privately owned establishment has the right to ban anyone they want - but if one bar can discriminate then so can another.  Both clubs had valid reasons for their discrimination.

Can we have pubs where poofs are not allowed?

if its your place you should be able to let who ever you want in and keep who ever you want out.

if i am allowed to not let whoever i like in my home, i am allowed to let whoever i like in my pub damnit.

What a bunch of whining @ssholes the minorites of this nation are. No wonder they're so hated.

Can anyone in here honestly say that if they were discriminated because of their European appearance they'd sue the basterds? 

No... as honourable people witha bit of pride in ourselves... we'd turn the other cheek and go to another pub, wouldn't we?

It just shows what a weak little self-hating front bottom this 'compensated' guy is.

Whether I hate Jews, Muslims, Gypsies, dogs, cats, birds, people who wear red, anything... you should be able to let whoever the hell you want into the pub as long as you own it...

Business is business... and if the pub owner finds it in his personal interest to ban islanders whether it contributes to his business or not... it should be allowed.

This ruling is a disgrace and just shows how ridiculous these discrimination laws are.

Neither of those were based on race, and the pub had a reasonable ground to exclude those people. There are many places set aside for women only.

Both clubs had valid reasons for their discrimination.

Racism is not a valid reason. All straight people are not gay. All women are not men. Not all maoris are problem drinkers.

In practice there are plenty. This is why the reverse discrimination is acceptable. If gay people could feel comfortable in mixed settings there would be no need to exclude straight people.

Remember, if you really wanted to get in, you can get in. You cannot tell if someone is gay by looking at them.

That's how it works with minor parties. Trust me, you wouldn't want Pauline actually running the place. The useful ideas she had were adopted, the stupid ones were ignored. They're the ones she was left with. You will get the changes you want far more quickly by getting the major parties to adopt them. It is a good thing.

What so there are some pubs which IN WRITING say  NO  POOFTERS?

Sure, some do, but beating them up usually works better.

Freediver... who cares if they don'twant straight people in the bar? Good on them. Same thing goes for people who don't want Islanders/Maoris in their pubs... who cares? It's the businesses loss and if they lose business as a result it's their own fault. The Government or law shouldn't get involved with whom they decide to let into their pubs.

Numerous gay guys have hit on me... I serioulsy felt like breaking their teeth... because being polite about it doesn't seem to be getting through to them... they'll continue doing it until we show them we don't like them doing it.
