Muzique Says "No Fat Girls": Does Club Have Right to Discrimate?

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162- ... 91704.html

Quote:
We are all constantly bombarded by messages to lose weight and get in shape, but one Montreal nightclub has taken to outright banning those who don't drop the pounds - at least for one night.

Last week, the Facebook page of Muzique posted an ad for a party that read "NO FAT GIRLS ALLOWED!!!!!!!!!!," according to the Montreal Gazette.

The club's management claims it was meant as a joke and blamed the party promoters for posting it.

"We didn't even realize (the comment) was there until a couple of days ago, and it was too late to retract it because the event had already happened," John Jay, Muzique's press man, told the Gazette.

"We don't think it's funny at all."

Neither do some of the club's customers.

Any club has a the right to bar admission, without giving a reason. They're private premises after all. Their mistake was actually telling people what the reason was...

It's a bit of a grey area, if there's any hint of discrimination then you'll have Trading Standards and/or the Police on your arse.

Perhaps a "Fat Girls" night with a "Bring along your sllimmer friends" rider would be an idea for the club. Maybe give them all free entry.

Might smooth a few ruffled feathers.... though blokes would still have to pay to get in !

Maybe they will follow Theme park rides policy? No admittance unless you can fit through this gap or put on a size 10 dress?

Nothing wrong with a fat girl.

Indeed not. At least you're not afraid that you'll break something when you sleep with a girl with a bit of meat on her bones.

You don't get bruises either. No way I'd visit such a nightclub!

I like my women to be lithe and lissome,
But you shouldn't cut yourself when you hug 'em and kiss 'em ;)

I've never liked night clubs because:
1 you have to pay to get in.
2 the drinks are too expensive when you do.
3 you have to shout at the person next to you as the music is so loud.
4 you have to dress a certain way (in some towns) to get through the door.
5 I hate dancing
Give me a pub any day.

Actually while say “No fat people” would probably be OK (there is no Fat discrimination laws (yet)) saying “No fat girls” would be as you are therefore (in theory) saying fat blokes can come in and so discriminating purely on the sex of the person trying to get in
