(Melbourne, Australia) - The owner of the Peel Hotel in Melbourne says there has already been a backlash after the pub won the right to turn away heterosexual patrons. Hotel management applied to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) for an exemption to the Equal Opportunity Act. It is concerned about the growing number of heterosexual men and women directing insults and abuse at its mainly gay patrons. Owner Tom McFeely says there has been an increase in abusive homophobic phone calls to the Collingwood hotel since the decision became public.
