A man in Denver filed a complaint this week with the state Department of Regulatory Agencies’ Division of Civil Rights, stating he was discriminated against at a club in Denver.
Proof Nightclub’s weekly ‘ladies night’ allows ladies to get in free while men must pay $5 to get in. Stephen Horner, a 58-year-old male, believed this to be discrimination.
There are laws against ‘ladies night’ in several states, including California, Connecticut and New Jersey, as well as in Boulder.
What do CU students think about these laws?
“Society accepts ladies night,” said CU Alumni Laura McGillivray, who studied environmental biology. “I don’t think it’s discrimination”
“I thought the whole point of ladies night is so that guys could meet ladies,” said Rayanne Walker, a junior double majoring in molecular biology and integrative physiology.
Preston From, a senior Japanese major, said, “(Ladies night is) part of the
marketing scheme.”
“It depends on whether there was a pre-existing policy, or whether there was a pre-existing precedent,” said Max Creiner, a senior linguistics major.
“Every club has a ladies night,” said senior economics major Joe Minor. “It attracts more people.”
