HAHAHAHAHA this is the dumbest thing I read on this thread. ILLEGAL?? What part of selling sex for money can be considered not an underground business.. Who would be dumb enough to sue a provider cause they won't have sex with you for money based on race?????
People need to know that prostitution is frowned upon by society, not to mention that a person (male or female) has a right to refuse sex with anyone or it is considered rape; WHICH IS ILLEGAL.
That's why I come to this board to read these funny comments. This is buying sex, not buying a newspaper or eating at a restaurant. Commenters are right in that it's not racism - people can choose who they sleep with. And if it just happens they aren't attracted to a certain color of skin or weight or 6 toes, they have the every right to be.
Sorry, but I didn't mean to make fun of you, but you may have lost all logic.
Buttercup set out with precision and logic, the applicable particulars of the Ontario Human Rights Code. However, because you don't agree with the premise of the Human Rights Code in this application you accuse him of losing all logic. You are speaking out of emotion, not logic nor an understanding of the law.
First off let me express my opinion that I understand and agree with a provider of sexual services making subjective judgements and discriminating based on race, age family status, mental or physical disability, gender identity (ie: transexuals) and sexual orientation.
Each and every one of these are specifically named "protected grounds" under the Ontario Human Rights Code.
And buttercup set out with precision, the reasons why a female provider of any services who discriminated on the basis of any of these grounds, in particular if they refuse to provide services to black or East Indian men, would be in contravention of the very first lines of the OHRC. Or married men, or men under 25, or men on welfare, or men with downs syndrome, or schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder or parapalegic men or incontinent men or .....women.
And the Human Rights Code does not carve out exceptions to sex work.
So, niveaman, you are absolutely wrong in your assessment of buttercup's assessment of the provisions of the OHRC. I am not familiar with any case law regarding sex work that has excepted these protections.
Having said that, I think that IF a black man were brave enough to bring an application to the OHRC against a sexual service provider, the sp may have an arguable defense based on the inherently intimacy required of the service. And that the OHRC did not anticipate being applied to sex work.
