A Toronto comedian and Vancouver restaurant owner were ordered to pay $22,500 by a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal on Thursday after the standup comic hurled a torrent of sexual insults at a woman and her same-sex partner during a comedy show three years ago.
Amateur standup comedian Guy Earle has been ordered to pay $15,000 to Lorna Pardy, 32, who filed the complaint last year after she and her lesbian partner were taunted at Zesty’s Restaurant on Commercial Drive on May 22, 2007. Restaurant owner Salam Ishmail has been ordered to pay her $7,500.
Earle told The Vancouver Sun Thursday night he will appeal the decision.
Pardy filed a complaint in 2007, claiming she was discriminated against on the basis of her gender and sexual orientation in contravention of the Criminal Code. She said Earle directed homophobic and sexist insults at her when she was a patron and he was the master-of-ceremonies at an open mike comedy show at the restaurant.

Lesbos make great track and field athletes, always lapping their opponents.

“Restaurant Ordered To Pay For Insults Against Lesbian” - I hit the motherlode!!!!!! I got a million of ‘em!!!!! Wait a minute...what’s the exchange rate? How many insults for $100 American? How about practical jokes? How much do they pay for that? What if I used a hand-buzzer on her? Oh, that’s right, her girlfriend does that already. Canadian lesbians - all the sense of humor of a wounded polar bear and half as friendly.
