Homosexual Bias

A hotel in Florida is biased when it comes to homosexuals, only its biased for homosexuals, not against them.

From WFTV.com via Clayton Cramer:

Three heterosexual couples said they were turned away from a hotel in this gay-friendly tourist destination because of their sexual orientation, which would violate city law.

The six were vacationing with a gay couple and had reservations at Big Ruby's in downtown Key West when the three straight couples were turned away.

"The manager literally said, 'We don't want you here,"' said Jim Pirih, who had vacationed at Big Ruby's last year with his partner, Jason Williams.

The group, most of whom are from San Diego, was already settled in their rooms Wednesday when the manager told the straight couples they would have to leave, citing a policy of not allowing heterosexuals on the property, Pirih said.

"He said he had to appeal to the majority, and the majority of guests wouldn't want straight people there," Pirih said.


Wow.

That last comment is just a little bit hypocritical, wouldn't you say?

Exactly.  Minorities (and I’m extending that term to include homosexuals in this instance) shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate simply because they are from a minority group.

If we want to end discrimination then nobody should be allowed to discriminate.

If they want to do business that way, that is fine.  But then they have no complaint if they are ever excluded by a business or organization.

Of course it doesn’t work that way.  If a company would deny services to homosexuals, they would be immediately sued out of existance.
