Oh, yeah, like every single single person that stays in the blasted hotel is going to have a wild sex orgy just because they can!!! Well, besides Wally that is. But are they so closed minded that that's what they think we do ALL DAY LONG!!! I mean come on, once a week is hard enough, let alone everyday of the year, I need a vacation too you know!

You're horrible. Now I have to register with yet another website just so I can post a snarky reply!!!

 

[minicoopercraig]

I was going to do that too, but I can't figure out what website it is. I'm not that technologically advanced you know. I'm lucky I know how to get to here! LOL.

And I couldn't figure it out either...

Orlando and Orange county do have laws against discrimination based on sexual identity. Kissimmee, however is in Osceola County. In Osceola County the kids still get a day out of school every year for the county rodeo.

I'm sorry, I spoke before I did my research. I stand corrected.

But there are still MANY states/municipalities where it is completely legal and acceptable to discrimiate on the basis of sexual orientation.

I don't know if I can post the other forum on here? Pm me and I will tell you.

And I thought it was bad here because the schools shut down for the 1st day of deer!!

Hmmm... I wonder what they would do if a gay male couple and a lesbian couple rented it together?

LOOK - I got people!

I've not been to the linked place in the first post, but if the rental is in Indian River, you DON'T want to be there. EEEEYEYEYYYYYYUUUUUUUCK!

Discrimination is boundless, and endless.

I am trying to figure out if this is a gay issue or if this is a 'I don't want parties' issue.

Say my mom, me and my 2 sisters wanted to rent it....I almost want to e-mail and ask. I can see that they might not want a fraternity, or a sorority to rent it, or party type groups (but they would be better off to say no one under 25 or something).

Anybody e-mail to try and find out. Ask nicely and pretend you are a mother/daughters group.

 

[minicoopercraig]

I emailed them and adked the about my mother, 2 aunts, and sister coming down for a retreat to Disney. We'll see what they say. LOL.

Great! Can't wait to hear what they have to say! IMO- this idea of stopping parties can be done by age mainly...just make it something like no one under 23 allowed, unless a married couple or something.

I too wonder if Shrek and I checked in, would it be OK?

Or are they only banning "hen and stag" parties? (Love that term by the way, they are bachelor or bachelorette parties over here!)

Hmmm, I may have to make a phone call in the morning.....

Sorry - I didn't think about the term hen and stag parties...

I too would be interested to find out if they will 'allow' asmit4's party. I don't know about in the states but in the UK it is becoming very popular for hen and stag parties to be mini vacations involving copious amounts of booze and, seemingly, a fair amount of bad behaviour. As i said before it is this kind of behaviour that puts property owners off renting to single sex parties.

I wonder if the property owner is from the UK?

 

[boldlyreal]

I don't know if the owners are British but they seem to cater to Brits by the language used on the website.

 

[Brian Noble]

The anti-discrimination laws in Florida (and many other states for that matter) don't include sexual orientation.

But Federal Fair Housing law does include gender as a protected class. The prohibition as written disallows any single-gender rental party, and so I suspect that it violates the Fair Housing statutes. You also can't base it on familial status, so the oft-seen "Families Only" is also illegal.

Ironically, if it excluded only gay men or lesbians it would be perfectly legal. Sad, isn't it?

 

[minicoopercraig]

No word yet...I'll keep you posted.

 

[Tiggernut_jadie]

I don't know if the owners are British but they seem to cater to Brits by the language used on the website.

It is a UK owner - I checked the 'contact us' part of the website. As I said before this 'clause' is very commonly used in the UK to avoid all female or all male parties having....well...PARTIES! I honestly, genuinely don't think this is an 'anti-gay' clause.
