Gardening: Gay Men Refused Service Because of Gender-Critical Views

[AnotherAngryAcademic]

The Human Gay Male group have instructed Peter Daly in their case against a Brighton pub. (They had booked a private room for a group meal but the pub cancelled because of the group’s gender critical views. They were also told they would be denied service in the pub as individuals.)

This is an interesting case and it would be useful to have a court decision on whether groups can be denied goods and services on the grounds of gender critical belief.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Gay men are increasingly speaking out about all this.

I think any case that has a good chance of winning creates helpful precedent for lesbian or other women’s groups, and simplifies the legal landscape for these groups which lowers the risk of taking their own case to court- it’s expensive and would feel too risky for many groups, so the more legal precedent the more clear cut it is for others.

Albeit late to the party... Lesbians have been dealing with this shtt for a long time now and the gay guys were in general, not bothered as it didn't affect them. I hope they win their case.

I'm in Sussex. There's a nasty little group on Instagram called Terf Watch Brighton. They bragged that they had contacted the pub to get them to cancel the booking.

Capture the evidence. It will be useful for the impending court case.

Indeed. It is a breach of Section 111 of the Equality Act to incite or induce others to breach the Equality Act.

Human Gay Male knows - it was posted on his Twitter thread at the time to make him aware of what had happened.
