Le Stud

Gay bar in Montreal, Canada

Le Stud, or Bar Le Stud,[1] is a gay bar in Montreal's Gay Village, in Quebec, Canada.[2][3] Established in 1996, the bar caters to bears and the leather subculture.[4][5] The business has since been criticized for not allowing women in the past, but no longer has such a policy following a discrimination complaint that was filed in 2007.

History

Le Stud opened in 1996.[6]

In 2007, Audrey Vachon filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Quebec.[7][8][9] According to the bar's owner, Michel Gadoury, women have not been allowed since the bar's establishment in order to provide masculine environment to its clientele.[10][11] Vachon's discrimination complaint was settled in 2008. The terms were not disclosed, but the commission concluded that "businesses have the right to attract a particular clientele but not to discriminate by excluding other customers".[12]
