IronJack replied: Do a little research on public accommodation law. Think about it in terms of a "whites only" night. Or "no gays allowed" establishment.

Both statements are correct and not contradictory. The nightclub is not a governmental entity except on rare occasions when a government owns (or otherwise controls) the nightclub. Therefore, the nightclub is NOT able to deny constitutional rights, no matter what it does. However, the nightclub might violate discrimination laws relative to public accommodations.

A "whites only" policy at a nightclub would violate federal, state, and local public accommodation/anti-discrimination laws. However, a "no gays" policy in a nightclub might NOT violate the law in some areas. Indeed, that is one reason that homosexuals are lobbying to be included in federal anti-discrimination laws.

Does the public accommodation law apply to amusement parks?

It offers women drinks for less.

Prices for whites: $X
Prices for blacks: $Y

How long do you think THAT establishment would stay open?

Yes, I would think an amusement park open to the public at large would constitute a public accommodation.

An affirmative action night? What a concept.

Apparently this guy Hollander has never gotten lucky at a bar. This ensures that he never will.

The SCOTUS has determined that giving preferences is allowable (affirmative action) in order to make up for past wrongs. Given the amount of time women generally have to wait for bathrooms at night clubs, I would say that “ladies nights” make up for it.

Can anyone else say “frivolous law suit?” This isn’t a case where a contempt charge should be filed. It could be settled with a simple statement from the judge: “Bailiff... Beat the crap out of the plaintiff!”

Indeed. Methinks the plaintiff hasn't really thought this through. Or else he's gay.

More likely, he's just completely unsuccessful on ladies nights, even though he's a lawyer, and probably has a Porsche or Mercedes. He can't "get lucky" so he wants to ruin the fun for everyone else... I'm sure once word gets out, the babes will be flocking to him!!!

Should I make assumptions about the man’s sexuality? Ladies’nights are set up to attract more men, because there are likely to be more women.

Which would most men rather attend: a night when ladies' drinks were half-price and men's drinks cost double, or one where men's drinks were half-price and ladies' drinks cost double?

The "ladies' night" drink discounts are given to benefit men seeking women.

Either that or he is so frickin’ ugly that none of the women would give him the time of day.

Think of it as Affirmative Action for women because we make much less money than men and we need a break when buying drinks just once in awhile. We’re oppressed in so many ways, please give us this one perk.

Hmmm, excellent point. I own a bar in Texas and TABC will mot allow me to have a ladies night, (discriminates against men, stupidest thing I ever heard!) so I don't, but you are corect, preferences are legal. I might try it again.
