Getting away from Rudd and his slurs for a moment....how's the gay-rights lobby going?
We hear all this "treat us the same as heterosexual couples" line....and then they go ahead, and segregate themselves by this:
Gay pub can out straight patrons

A MELBOURNE pub catering for gay men has won the right to refuse entry to heterosexuals in a landmark ruling at the state planning tribunal.
The owners of Collingwood's Peel Hotel applied to ban straight men and women to try to prevent "sexually based insults and violence" towards its gay patrons.
The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last week granted the pub an exemption to the Equal Opportunity Act, effectively prohibiting entry to non-homosexuals.

Now, not that I would frequent such an establishment anyway, but it does highlight the hypocrisy of such a group.
They have been supported by the left-lobby for a long time by protesting how they are treated differently on some issues, yet here we have them now conducting bans, where if the shoe was on the other foot, and it was a heterosexual club (are any clubs called that anyway?) banning homosexuals, there would massive outcries about discrimination and the like, as well as class-actions, and compensation.
Secondly, how are they going to police this anyway?
Are gays branded with special tattoos, or do they give a secret handshake at the door, to distinguish themselves apart from heterosexuals?
Thirdly...interesting that lesbians are banned also, meaning it is a "male only" club....surely this is not only discrimination based on the sexual persuasion of patrons, but also, gender discrimination against females?
Finally....if any heterosexual people do go to this pub....why would they go there, unless they are mates with gays who go there?
As far as I am concerned, this is VCAT being hypocritical, and surely now, this has given other establishments the right to ban people on such matters also.
So much for "equal rights".
We can add this discrimination by a minority group to the list along with the "Indigenous Round" of footy (looking forward to a round celebrating the achievements of white players)...and pool bans for people who aren't Islam.

The funniest thing is mate....this same group(s) wanting gays to have the same rights as heterosexuals, are the same one who protest against the "war on terror" against the extreme Islams....yet the extreme Islams are the ones who punish homosexuals with the death penalty.....a penalty that civil-libertarians and human-rights activist are totally against, as they are against violence.......yet then they use violence at G20/S11........ :rofl
They have no bloody idea! :
