Homosexual bars/pubs/clubs, right or wrong?

The insurance is aimed for women, but they HAVE to sell it to men aswell.

Yea I forgot to say that too.

Just like gay bars cannot refuse entry to straight people.

[YoManGo!]

they're run by homosexuals for homosexuals to meet other like minded people; coz otherwise unless you have an amazing gaydar it's harder to find partners isn't it?
we don't have straight pubs and such because they aren't needed; the majority of people are straight so if you go up to a guy/girl in a pub or club, the chances are they will be straight.

this debate is pretty pointless

So it's ok to discriminate against the majority, but not a minority? I see a fatal flaw here - the majority are, by definition, a larger group. Your logic allows for massive amounts of people to be offended or worked against, but not a small group :S

To be honest I don't have a problem with them, they don't affect me. If I wanted to stop something just because I don't agree with the principle of it I'd have had all smokers shot years ago

I suppose its a service with a target audience. Its not that straight people can't go in there, but there isn't much point if you're looking to pull someone unless you fancy a threesome with 2 people of the opposite sex Its like going on a singles dating site when you're married.

Discrimination is discimnating against a minority by a majority.

Majorities cannot be discriminated against.

Thats why in things such as political correctness words are changed so to not insult minorities but often are first used in favour of majorities.

e.g. Gingerbread man in it's politically correct form is Ginger-flavoured person.

The 2 minorites being ginger people and women.
The majority being men.

Smoking can affect people via second-hand smoke and should not be allowed at all never mind just not in public places.

If you want to smoke, do it in your own privacy and in a place that does not affect other people.

1) Can I ask why?
2) Homophobia isnt really what is being dicussed - its about segregation of homosexuals from society in refference to gay bars.

That's entirely untrue, anyone can be discriminated against. Going by what you say, a white male Christian of good mental and physical health cannot be offended as a matter of principle :S it makes no sense

If that male christian lived in Islam then he would be part of a minority.

Why do you think calling someone black the n word is racist and it is a criminal offence but black people calling white people 'white trash' or something is not?

Thats because in this country black people are the minority.

[FlyingJesus]

It's because the legal system on this sort of thing is relatively new and has been built up incorrectly. Also it is illegal still it's just not seen as serious really so it gets overlooked in most cases.

I think gay bar's are good as they can attempt to pull people of their own sexuality much easier, a homosexual is going to struggle pulling someone in a strip club as most the men would be interested in women.

I don't see the point in gay hotels? What would the difference be? Do they serve crocodile penis and stuff in the restaurant or something? I think gay bar's are a great idea, they benefit straight and gay people, I just cannot see why you need a hotel aimed at homosexuals though.
