name and shameA gay woman frequents her local hotel in inner-city Sydney and is targeted by a heterosexual male who gets her drunk and assaults her with unprotected sex.
The woman is experienced with alcohol use and has recently completed a certificate in the responsible serving of alcohol which indicates that the assailant may have spiked her drink to perpetrate the assault.
A few days later the woman is refused service for two weeks after she came to the support of a transexual patron who was being harassed by heterosexual males.
The transexual patron was refused service for life for allegedly causing the harassment.
As openly gay, the women is entitled to feel that she has been raped and abused.
If it can be shown that her assailant had prior knowledge she identified as gay he may be liable to fifteen years imprisonment for statutory rape.
A complaint against the licencee to the Gay Liaison Unit of the Local Area Police Command is in preparation and gay media outlets are being advised of the danger this hotel poses to the community.
The licencee may be liable to a large fine and the hotel's licence to trade may be revoked if the premises continues to be unsafe to certain members of the public.
Until heterosexual males understand that both women and men who identify as gay have a right to protection from heterosexual assault, licenced premises will continue to become fertile ground for their depraved ambitions.
