by The Peel Hotel in Melbourne, Australia has recently won the right to ban Heterosexuals from the hotel bar. In an interview with Australian Radio, hotel manager Tom Freely claimed, "If I can limit the number of heterosexuals entering the Peel, then that helps me keep the safe balance."
What is the safe balance? In this interview, VCAT president Cate Mckenzie explains that not only do straight and lesbian groups become occasionally violent towards the male gay community at the bar, but that straight women also use the gay men as entertainment for Hen Nights.
An example of similar action in a much different venue is found in the Penn State decision to deny registration to the fledgling STRAIGHT Club. Is the day of the heterosexual over? Should more heterosexuals be watching Sex And The City for tips on how to behave in the new, homosexual world?

Is the day of the heterosexual over?
You can’t be serious. The highest number I’ve ever seen for the percentage of Americans that are gay (as their primary orientation – not counting people who "experimented") is about 10%. Numbers in that range are typically quoted by gay advocates who are probably exaggerating. Their opponents (probably exaggerating on the other side) give numbers around 1%. Most people who are trying to be honest give the number as around 5%.
Are we really so insecure that treating this tiny part of our population with ordinary human dignity should make us fear the end of society as we know it?
arrested for not being gay by djofraleigh :: NR0 :: Show
So, if I try to go into the bar
and I say I’m gay, but I’m not,
then when found out, I’m arrested?
How would you like that in your record?
Arrested for not being gay
or
Arrested when thrown out of a gay bar.
If people are coming to see the ‘freaks’
dressed like "Men at Work" then so be it.
I mean, what could they come to see?
As for keeping the lesbians out of the club,
then that is sexism, first….NO women allowed.
That wouldn’t get it in the US would it?
I wonder who the Iranians allow in their gay bars?
News items like this just confuse an old guy like me.
