Lesbians win discrimination case over pub kiss

Two Co Cork lesbians today won a discrimination case against a publican who ejected them after they kissed and hugged.

The Equality Authority today welcomed the judgement of Judge Peter Clyne who found that the conduct of Malone’s Bar in Blarney towards Myra McGuirk and Eileen Twomey amounted to discrimination on the sexual orientation grounds, contrary to section 19 of the Intoxicating Liquor Act, 2003.
