Lesbians Win Right To Women Only Parties in Australia

Australian lesbians have won the right to have women only parties Down Under:

A PARTY company specialising in dances for lesbians and bisexual women has won the legal right to ban men.

Pinkalicious was given the green light to stop men because they might pester women for sex.

Director Julie MacKenzie hailed the VCAT decision a landmark, saying it made Pinkalicious the only women-only party in Australia, the Herald Sun reports.

Ms MacKenzie complained to the tribunal she couldn’t stop men attending the parties “even if I know they intend to hit on women”.

Fellow organiser Samantha Stevens argued men should be banned because they would be intimidating and deter lesbian and bisexual patrons.

“In my experience feminine lesbians are often the target of heterosexual male fantasy, and therefore subject to more intrusive attention from them,” Ms Stevens said.

“It is a major concern that heterosexual males will attend the Pinkalicious event in the hope they can achieve their desire for a sexual experience with multiple women.”  [Herald-Sun]

Personally I have no problems with lesbians wanting women only parties, but what I am wondering is what would the reaction be if a party organizer wanted to discriminate not on gender, but on race?
