Wed Jun 2,11:05 AM ET
TRENTON, N.J. - The state's top civil rights official has ruled that taverns cannot offer discounts to women on "ladies nights," agreeing with a man who claimed such gender-based promotions discriminated against men.
David R. Gillespie said it was not fair for women to get into the Coastline nightclub for free and receive discounted drinks while men paid a $5 cover charge and full price for drinks.
In his ruling Tuesday, J. Frank Vespa-Papaleo, director of the state Division on Civil Rights, rejected arguments by the nightclub that ladies nights were a legitimate promotion. Commercial interests do not override the "important social policy objective of eradicating discrimination," he ruled.
The ruling specifically addressed the weekly ladies nights at the Coastline in Cherry Hill, but it carries the force of a court decision and applies statewide. Vespa-Papaleo said state officials would write formal rules after a public hearing.
The restaurant's attorney, Colleen Ready, did not immediately return a telephone message left Wednesday by The Associated Press.
Courts in other states have issued divergent opinions on such promotions.
Judges in Pennsylvania and Iowa have said similar events are illegal, but courts in Illinois and Washington state have said that ladies nights are permissible because they do not discriminate against men but rather encourage women to attend.

in sweden there's also different age limits for different genders (for example women 18, men 20), always thought of suing them for that... :D |

Well the way it works here is that usually if it's a ladies night it means that girls go in for free and men pay double - pay for the girls...i always thought it was BS and for sure discrimination...Never thought anyone would be sued cause of it...but i guess now it actually happened :thepirate |

That's retarded. Where else can men go and find a ridiculous number of drunk women?!
Ladies night does as much for the men as it does for the ladies. |

Not really...I don't feel like paying 20 bucks to get into a club to see drunken girls...besides i've never seen a "ladies night" that is worth going to...every time there's a "ladies night" there are retarded girls and a ton of sausage looking for those "free ladies" lol...and it's usually REALLY YOUNG and underaged ppl anyways... |
