There is precedent for this, in that a chain of pubs for gay men was granted permission to discriminate, by the same governmental commission that refused this for the lesbian organization. From htps://humanrights.gov.au/sites/default/files/lesbian_rights_australia_submission_1.pdf: > On that note, I would also like to once again point out the comparatively preferential treatment that men have received when they apply for exemptions to protect their spaces on the basis of sex, sexuality and gender identity. Often little more than anecdotal evidence has been considered compelling enough to support such applications for men. The Peel, The Laird and The Sircuit Bar operate venues and events where they can rightfully exclude would-be patrons on the basis of sex, sexuality and gender identity. The Peel, a venue exclusively for gay men, even happily advertises itself as "exempt from anti-discrimination laws". Meanwhile, in regards to the Lesbian Action Group’s application (and other similar applications in regards to lesbian-only events), dozens of submissions from experts, containing tomes of studies and references on the subject, are apparently not compelling enough to the Commission. The irony is not lost on me that the Commission's sexist double standards will be a primary reason for refusing this exemption under the Sex Discrimination Act. So on the same basis, why should an organisation set up for the benefit of those who are both female and homosexual not be permitted a similar exemption from anti-discrimination laws, so they can legally exclude from their own public events all others who are not both female and homosexual?
