The Victorian state civil and administrative tribunal in Australia has ruled that a Melbourne pub has the right to bar customers based on their sexual orientation.
It's bad enough when bigotry rears its ugly head and people are discriminated against with the most transparent of excuses because of whom they love, but when an official arm of government adds its weight and approval to such vile...
Oh. The pub is barring heterosexuals? Why didn't you say so?
That's all right, then.
Perhaps its my libertarian side poking through, but I agree that privately-run institutions and buisnesses be allowed to discriminate against anyone they damn well please. An inane practice though it may be.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I would love to see a pub endowed with the power to exclude homosexuals from their establishment.
I also assume the sun will burn out before that legislation passes.
