Lesbian couple wants San Diego country club to treat them as spouses

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Late in the day, when most others have cleared the course of rolling hills and serene lakes, B. Birgit Koebke, golfs alone at her country club. If a group happens to be ahead of her, they no longer allow her to play through.

"I just sit there and wait," she says. "They've made it impossible for me to enjoy the club."

Koebke, a 47-year-old television sales executive, is a longtime member of the Bernardo Heights Country Club. She is also lesbian, and her extended drive to win club golfing privileges for her partner of 12 years, Kendall French, has left few members willing to play with her.

Koebke hopes the California Supreme Court will hear her argument that the state's civil rights laws should require the club to give French, her state-registered domestic partner, the same benefits given to spouses.

That's nothing. My husband and I want the rest of the world to treat us as emperor and empress of the universe. And I'd like a pony, too.

A protest-happy lesbian who plays golf. What a stereotype-buster.

There is something inherently wrong when people must be forced to accept you.
These radical homosexuals seem to use tactics employed by subversive, communist/nazi groups.

So much for being spiritual and not materialistic.

If she doesn't like normal people, then she can go find a perverts' golf club, where she can do whatever she pleases in PRIVATE.

You do realize my comment was tongue-in-cheek, I trust.

Participation is both paid and voluntary. Rules clearly written out. Private to boot. But I am sure she will eventually find a court that will enforce the perversion.

".... has left few members willing to play with her (Kendall French).

Too many potential responses one could place here!

Surely there are enough golf-playing homosexuals in southern California to buy their own golf course where no one denies them anything, no one makes slurs, no one is ever unhappy and everyone shoots under par every day.

She sounds like the spoiled brat in the sandbox, wondering why she doesn't have any friends.

LOL! Excellent timing on the pony comment, actually.

I'm not sure what she is basing her case on. Plus, it seems like this is a private club that can set its own rules. I'd actually be pretty surprised if she won.

A private club has the right to set its own policies... as to who it will and will not allow in or recognize or extend benefits to. This isn't a public accomadation, but a private club. Frankly I think they should just not extend this particular person an invite back after her current membership expires and be done with it.
