Double standards

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for equal rights and less prejudice in this world, however, there seems to be a growing amount of double standards with regards to equal rights.

This article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/6697469.stm) on BBC News recently explained how an Australian gay pub has banned heterosexual people. Fair enough, straight people were intimidating the customers. However, what were to happen if you were to ban homosexuals from a "straight" pub. There would be outrage, people would moan, there would be a petition against you and you'd probably get taken to court.

Equal rights are all well and good, but only if they really are equal.
