DC: A lawyer slammed a “sexist” no-single-men pool party hosted by a California hotel, while speaking with The Daily Caller News Foundation on Friday.
San Diego lawyer Alfred G. Rava is representing three men, Mitchell Fairless, Chris Fairless and James Hamilton, in a lawsuit against DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs and Plush, a party company that hosted an event at the hotel. The men are suing the hotel and party company for violating California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act and Business and Professions Code 125.6.
Rava filed his lawsuit with the Superior Court of California County of Riverside on July 26 and received a copy of the complaint Wednesday. The complaint opens with a quote: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
Plush advertised its event at DoubleTree with a “discounted rate $175 per couple” and “single ladies are only $20.” At least one of the plaintiffs received the ad by email and Plush also advertised it at Plushlife.org. The plaintiffs assert the company banned single men from attending a pool party hosted by DoubleTree on July 20 and 21, citing a text message one of their male acquaintances received from Plush reading “single men are not allowed to the event.”
“All persons within the jurisdiction of this state are free and equal, and no matter what their sex,” states the Unruh Civil Rights Act.
Plush is now advertising a similar Aug. 2-5 event in Scottsdale, Arizona, where California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act holds no weight.
“I know the left would have a cow if there [were] a similar event at this hotel, or at any hotel, that allowed couples and single men to attend, charging couples $175 and single men only $20, but prohibiting single women from entering,” Rava told TheDCNF.
The lawyer said that multiple hotel employees told the three plaintiffs that single men could not attend the event, but Rava did not think they ever provided a reason.
“I speculate that because it appeared from the advertisement for the event … to be some type of ‘swingers’ event, that single women were more desirous than single men,” Rava told TheDCNF. “In fact, single [men] were not just less desirous, they were not at all desired and were outright banned from attending.”
Rava asked the Palm Springs Superior Court of California in his July 26 complaint to make the defendants pay statutory and attorneys’ fees, forbid the defendants from discriminating against single men, and compel the defendants to take “sensitivity, diversity, and sex and marital status discrimination training” pertaining specifically to single men. more here
This event confuses me. They want married couples and single girls? The definition of married couple is murky in the first place. But assuming it’s heteros, I’m still am not sure what is going on.
I’d check the pH in that pool before getting in.
Sounds like a bunch of weird floating organisms in the pool.
Where’s the stink girl?
Can’t these dudes just say they identify as female and get in for the bargain rate of $20?
This kind of Bullshit is why Hooters has WaitERS……. WTF? This is not AMERICAN…… or at least not the United States of American….
and I am not even a Hooters fan.
