(Montreal, Canada) - When she wandered past the flowery terrace of Bar Le Stud one afternoon last week, 20-year-old Audrey Vachon thought the sunny spot was the perfect place to enjoy a beer with her father.

Ms. Vachon's case has raised questions about the limits of openness, and whether gays shouldn't be given a place to call their own. Montreal lawyer Julius Grey, a Charter expert and veteran on discrimination and civil rights cases, says "the bar's refusal in no way affected the girl's dignity or devalues her as a person. It doesn't seriously affect her status in society, whereas gays face constant discrimination."
