A Florida Keys woman says she is the victim of discrimination after being denied a stay at an all-male, clothing-optional resort geared toward gay and bisexual men in Key West. But the story is all kinds of messy and stems from two previous incidents. According to a complaint filed to the Florida Commission on Human Relations against the Island House Key West resort, state resident Amina Chaudhry claims the business has a discriminatory policy that caters to male patronage over women, and she is seeking to have the policy reversed.
Representing herself during an administrative hearing about the complaint, Chaudhry said she is seeking no monetary damages and only wishes to have any court costs and legal fees incurred covered by the resort’s owners.
But the plot thickens.
According to the owners of Island House Key West, women are allowed and encouraged to stay at the resort. There are separate apartment units available for this purpose. However, Chaudhry was one of many non-guests at the resort who were asked to leave after the end of a Pride fundraising event held at its pool and the resort returned to a clothing-optional dress code.
The owner explained that Chaudhry was asked to leave because she was not a guest at the resort, not because she is a woman.
