Yep, no double standard here...

God, do some of you even read -- A San Francisco hotel will be the one which, like the Aussie hotel, tries to ban hetreosexuals from it

 

Hetreosexuals?
What is that? A dude having sex with his Palm Treo?

I'm pretty sure I once stayed at a hotel in Key West that likely wanted to ban heterosexuals, but didn't. Just remember if you see an open window at a place like that, don't look inside...

 

Yes, that's going to happen.

It's an oddity, which makes it newsworthy. It doesn't automatically mean that hotels in countries all over the world are going to start doing this.

That's a leap Mike Conley Sr. or Bob Beamon would be proud of.

 

Sorry -- fixed to appease the grammar cops....

 

Fixed again....

 

Fixed again....

 

He's not banning heteros. He's banning everyone except gay men. No dykes allowed either.

McFeely said his aim was not to ban all straight patrons and lesbians but to limit their numbers so gay men could freely express their sexuality.

He said he expected a backlash from other patrons, but added: "I'm not worried about it because to be frank I don't really care what heterosexuals or lesbians think.

No different than a bar that allows children --up until say, 9:00 and then it's adults only.

Talk about much ado about nothing.

 

So Zag, were all those lunch-counter sit-ins and freedom rides offenses against the market?
That argument seems to have gotten lost in all you tremors about teh gay coming here on the backs of the Emus.

 

If a hotel chain decided to ban blacks -- I'd be willing to bet that hotel chain would go out of business within a year or two because people would not patronize that hotel and it wouldn't be able to advertise regardless of how much it paid, either. That's how the market is supposed to work -- you offer a product, I decide whether I want to buy said product and if enough people don't buy, you go out of business.

 

So you'd be willing to accept a similar argument for a hotel that bans everyone except straight white people?

 

In all seriousness, don't cruise lines already have gay-men only, lesbian-only, and single people only trips? It also seems like resorts are doing the same thing.
And is the Aussie hotel more of a resort than anything else?
I don't see what the problem is.

 

Nobody but Zag sees a problem.
