Philadelphia's Commission on Human Relations is ordering owners and staff of 11 gay bars and clubs to undergo anti-discrimination training after a report found that the city’s famed “Gayborhood” has been unwelcoming to minorities and transwomen for decades.
The commission released a report last month based on verbal and written testimony from community members that found Gayborhood businesses “are owned by white, cisgender, males who create preferable environments for white, cisgender male patrons.” “Although the expectation is a ‘safe space’ for all LGBTQ people, many people of color, women and transgender individuals experience racism, prejudice and discrimination in these spaces,” the report revealed. “Transwomen of color are particularly vulnerable to discrimination, harassment, and physical violence.”
The commission on Jan. 23 issued an action plan requiring the bars to undergo sensitivity training within three months or possibly be punished or face legal action, The Associated Press reported. “We determined it was necessary for all of the bars to be trained on anti discrimination laws and implicit bias so all members of the LGBTQ community can feel safe from bias and discrimination wherever they go,” Rue Landau, the commission’s executive director, told Eater on Wednesday.
The issue gained renewed interest last year after a YouTube video of ICandy bar owner Darryl DePiano saying the N-word sparked a boycott. Other complaints heard by the commission claimed that people of color have been denied entry to venues based on vague dress codes and white gay men are often given preferential service, Eater reported.

You’ve got to smile when you see two Leftist constituencies squabbling.
What ever became of the neutron bomb?
Two or more, I should have said.
And the left begins to eat its own. We just keep on WINNING!
They always have been the worst of the worst.
In San Francisco during the AIDs riots, they were the ones wanting to kill people by biting their own lips and gums and spitting the blood into the eyes of the police and medical personnel. They trained each other how to do it.
Romans 1 is just as correct now as it was then.
“What ever became of the neutron bomb?”
The plans were stolen. Most likely the United States is the only country not possessing them in the inventory. Thank you President Carter.
The queer flag must go..... it is racist.
When added together the spectrum colors are emitted as white light.
I find it interesting that even sick puppies who like playing with poop are creeped out by the trannies who can’t determine which sex they are.

When leftist Killjoy Neo Victorian impulses finally affect other leftists in huge numbers they might begin to understand just a little bit of what America has been going through for the past 30 or 40 years.
hopefully for our sakes they will continue this kind of thing.
The left has forgotten fun and they have forgotten how to laugh, now they know only procedure, papers and lawsuits.
let’s see how young people like that.
Private businesses need more regulation and oversight ......

First they came for Christians and I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t Christian, then they came for Gaybars and I didn’t say anything...............
Another day in Weimerica.
:: And the left begins to eat its own ::
Isn’t that what they are agitating for?
Carpet, poles, coprophagia...?
Now I’m really confused. A gay can also be a cisgender? Cant we just go back to being either boys or girls?
Yes, either he or she can.
Can't we just go back to being either boys or girls?
No, boys can be girls and girls can be boys and young humans can be both or neither on any given day.
Do try to keep up! Consequences for missing the memo can be dire.
City of Buggerly Love.
Indeed. We certainly do live in exciting and vibrant times. It is good fun to see.
