Preference vs Discrimination

Well, that was assumed a given - you don't join in uninvited (even IF he had been a black guy at the time), either way, she wasn't rude, simply told him no and clarifying her preference...
Did he have a right to cry "discrimination!" ?
Would I have a right to yell "Sexual discrimination! Is it cause I is not gay?" If turned away from the Lesbians for lesbians social?

Hiya Ahabs ltns. I think yr fem friend could have put him down a little more gently. She probably, unintentionally gave him the impression his only 'fault' was that he wasn't 'black' in the accepted use of the word, the implication being that she would have played indiscriminately with an uninvited black male, which was probably a reason that he would have accepted readily, or should have ;)

So, you're suggesting even though she was in a room with a couple of guys she already probably knew, him coming in, not knowing her, and proceeding to interject himself, no introduction nothing, was ok...
.. and she was supposed to "be nice so as not to hurt his feelings", else its her fault?
(NB: I haven't even mentioned the fact he didnt fit her preference).

No means no full stop. Nothing else matters. If people can't understand that then perhaps they shouldn't swing
