Spa Company Refuses To Serve LGBT People

Oh dear. =/

It seems it somewhat rises new problems between society and GLBT people. Sighs...
 
Glad I don't live anywhere near that place. Seriously what is wrong with people? its not the 1930's anymore! and also, if they are wanting to ban GLBT people from their spa "for the safety of the children" they have single gender NUDE bathing pools.... WHY have kids go there anyways??? Sorry but it really makes me mad seeing this kind of discrimination still going on today.

They are in Northern VA - this area is mild GLBT friendly but not surprised.

If they are in southern VA - make sense.
 
It's not surprising. There will always be haters and they're everywhere until the day the earth die. In 2013 gay people are black people in the 60s (if that is bad analogy, I apologize) and they will get over it in the near future. They has to... When gay people become acceptable in society, they will find the next target.

Yes, your analogy is fine and I do agree with you.

Some people will say it is bad analogy - their opinion.
 
maybe its the excess flatulunce due to amyl nitrate addiction lol:lol:
 
According to the link:

"...According to Lee, Spa World’s policy is to allow customers of any sexual orientation or gender identity. As for any future complaints regarding transgender customers, Lee says they won’t be asked to leave again."

But according to James Lee, Sang Lee meant to write only that sexual activity, either gay or straight, is not allowed at Spa World. “The Korean-English barrier just made a small miscommunication,” James Lee says.

Suising wasn’t engaged in sexual activity when Spa World employees asked her to leave. “There was a woman inside of the woman’s sauna, and we had many complaints about that particular person, stating there was a man inside of the woman’s locker room,” James Lee. Although a transgender woman using Spa World’s nude areas doesn’t violate the bathhouse’s policy as Lee describes it, “It caught us all off-guard,” he says.

The Better Business Bureau opened an investigation, and on Jan. 28, Spa World representative Sang Lee responded to the BBB in writing by stating “It is our policy to not accept any kinds of abnormal sexual oriented customers to our facility such as homosexuals, or transgender(s).”
The Spa World written reply goes on to say that the spa stands by this policy for the sake of young children who utilize the facility. “Also, for the safety and the comfort of young children at Spa World, we strongly forbid any abnormal sexual behaviors and orientation in our facility. Despite the controversial issue of homosexuality and transgender, it is our policy to not accept them,” Lee wrote. Lee did not return calls seeking further comment.

It doesn't sound like a miscommunication/misunderstanding to me.

Possibly the manager tried to cover it up.
