Would our discrimination laws even allow a 'Gay' sports team?

Why is there a gay softball league in the first place?

Is the normal softball league so discriminating and corrupt that the gay players had to form a league of their own?

Once again discrimination and segregation rears it's ugly head, if it's not against people of colour its against fat slim gay or disabilities.

When are we as a world going to unite as one?
They have to have standards AOG!
The "gay" players could have chose to form their own league.
That's what they did..........
Our discrimination laws would have nothing to do with this, the World Series is an American sports event.

you can start a softball club for anyone you want - your school old boys, army and navy, whatever. Here's a gay London rugby team

Yes we know that, what I asked was would we in this country be allowed to field a Gay's sports team, which excluded 'straight' players?
Chelsea are a gay Football Club ;0)

jno That's amazing, but fancy anyone starting up a heterosexual soft ball club which excluded gays, there would be an uproar.

It's worse than I first thought.
<deletes "gay football clubs" from google search bar>

"it doesn't count as discrimination if the main purpose of the club or association is to provide benefits to lesbians, gay men or bisexuals. This applies particularly if their purpose is to offer privacy or a safe, supportive environment. For example, if the main purpose of a gay football club is not to compete in tournaments but to provide a safe social space for gay men, it could refuse to allow heterosexual men to join if that would change the whole nature of the club."

If they don't compete in tournaments, do they just have a kick around on their own?

Are not heterosexual men also allowed the same luxury to have a 'safe social space'? I mean they may not enjoy a communal bath at the end of a game if they know homosexuals are present.

But perhaps that's why one doesn't hear of any Gay professional footballers, in case it might change the whole nature of the club?
As AOG states, the delicate little flowers who comprise *most* football teams are so obviously unnerved by the presence of a gay team-mate that it seems only sensible to form *gay-only* teams where they can mince about together, trying not to ladder their football socks or get dirt under their fingernails; leaving the manly-men to communally bathe and sing manly songs in a manly way.........
loooooooool
Nevertheless it is a fair point: sauce for the gay goose and all that. Interesting to see that compensation had to be paid.
