When Human Rights Collide

April 30, 2008 · No Comments

A year after a woman filed a complaint against Le Stud for discrimination, only men were in sight yesterday. While the bar is not necessarily welcoming to women, the Quebec Human Rights Commission said it can’t deny them entry.

The case prompted outcry from the gay community and another complaint to the commission. Rick Matthews complained the fitness club Curves discriminates against men by not allowing them to join.

He told The Gazette last year he hoped to make the point that women should not demand access to men-only bars if they’re not willing to open their clubs to men.

The rest.

A different view of human rights, from Down Under:

An Australian hotel catering for gay men has been given the right to ban heterosexuals from its bars - to combat gangs of ogling women.

They won a ruling - believed to be the first of its kind in the country - from state authorities to impose the restriction.

It was granted even though equal opportunity laws prevent people being discriminated against based on race, religion or sexuality.

The rest.
