A judge has ruled that a Florida nude resort typically reserved for gay and bisexual men must open its doors to women.
she hopes the ruling will ensure that other businesses will not discriminate, arguing that it could open doors up for transgender individuals.
“The implication is if [New Orleans House is] allowed to discriminate against any genders they don’t want coming in there, then any other place of public accommodations can do the same thing,” she said. Russell Cormican, the attorney for New Orleans House, said that Judge Finkbeiner “totally sidestepped” the resort’s privacy rights, being that they cater to guests that specifically want to be in a male-only, clothing-optional facility with no women present.
“There’s areas of the hotel that are set aside for men to be nude,” Cormican said. “I mean, it’s like if I showed up at LA Fitness and as a man, I insisted on standing in the women’s dressing room.”a discrimination complaint with the commission against Island House Key West, which also caters to men seeking a “clothing-optional” space for other men.
“Living in Key West and going through all of this, there’s this just kind of pervasive sense that I was the one in the wrong,” she said. “Like I was some kind of crazy lunatic who was going against the natural order of things.”
