Thats not very good at all! Hope its not going to start a trend. Has someone behaved badly at a previous engagement? or is the establishment plain and simply discriminating?
It's discrimination from people with closed minds in my opinion.
'People like us' - do we have 2 heads or go around shooting people NO!!!!
We are adults with our minds set on what we want & desire.
I agree TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

I know - it was like the time i went to Astoria (i think) in London, and they wouldnt let me and 2 of my friends in "because we didnt look gay or lesbian". Oh sorry - i didnt know you needed a Gay Passport!!!!!
Anyway - i digress. I think it's disgusting, its not as if what we do is sick or forced on people. What about members like Easy????? "Shameless Flirt - and thats it, sorry". He might go to a munch to meet people off the site he's become friendly with. Not even a "Full Swinger" as it were - but tarred with the same brush!! (For want of a better way to put it.)
grrrrrrrrrr. i could spit blood!!!!!
One way to solve it Heather. Discimination isn't nice but why should we hide?

Why should we hide? Well, it depends on how your freedoms weigh up against your privacy, doesn't it?
I seem to recall you and I have been the victims, of one form or another, of people who are less than discrete. So would you like to stand tall and proud and become Swinging's avenging angel and put the vanilla's to rights and state our case?
Personally, I'd much rather have a quiet shag and let the numptys try to shut above my howls of sexual ecstacy...
Reece,
Thats prolly because they are all smashed on the local SCRUMPY, that you all partake in down there.

Reese - I'm 100% serious!! there were 5 of us, and 3 of us got turned away because half your group has to be gay and... "You dont look gay - and neither does she" at which point my other friend walked away with the hump. Ok, so i'm bi - but that still qualifies me for entry!!!!
My point is though - why should people be subjected to labels? what right does an establishment have to turn people away because they dont look like the sort of clientele thay want??
This thread brought back fond memories of living in Newcastle - snogged many a person on the steps of nightclubs in the Pink Triangle in order to get friends in for a bit of a boogie. LOL
the reason that has been given is "there was a complaint from a regular customer who was using the resteraunt, the manger is aware of what type of party it was.. and they do not wish to hold another"
i have to say.. in MY humble opinion.. the complaint from the ONE customer in the resteraunt was less to do with it that the "AWARE of what type of party it is" has!
Kent Host and I were at the last said Motel Munch as well...
I gather the staff were told it was a fortieth birthday party.
We did hear one very upset, and dare I say 'tiddly', couple arguing outside our room late in the night. It was very obvious what the topic of their row was.
Hand on heart, if I'd been running that Motel I'd have been in two minds about another one as well...
I would just like to add to this thread with the following comment.
I work away from home and stay in a hotel in Dover through the week. This hotel is independantly owned although it is associated to a well known brand name which helps them get centralised bookings, despite this they struggle like many hotels these days.
As well as me, there are about five or six other colleagues of mine that also use the place, alongside this there are ad hoc guests of our company that are also booked in there. The total revenue that the hotel gets from just our business, is in excess of £60,000 per year and as such we are a very significant customer. If I or one of my colleagues were to complain and that complaint threatened the hotels ability to retain our business then it would be in real trouble and I am willing to bet, would do all they could to prevent the chance of a repeat complaint on the same grounds.
A party in a hotel is an excellent revenue source and a much needed one however, if regular customers that have the spend that we do, were to complain then any hotel would need to look at wether or not that group were allowed back in again.
I doubt that the hotels reason for refusing a second booking, was because of the groups interest, hotels are closing weekly and any revenue source is welcomed. I would suspect that they do not want to risk upsetting their regulars, by having back a group that generated a previous complaint, using the 'once bitten twice shy, judgement.
I wasn't there and have no idea how boisterous your party was and have no wish to become emborilled in any argument as to the rights and wrongs, but have to say that if I were a venue owner and any group created a disturbance that generated complaint, I would seriously consider the position with regard as to if I had the group back. Not on the grounds of who they are, but simply on the grounds that the group were unable to behave in an appropriate manner, with consideration shown to other customers or guests. Your group may well have been perfectly behaved, I have no idea but I just wanted to make the point as a generalisation.
