Jehovah Witness Rally Friday to Sunday
Have the club tried closing the curtains, turning the TV down and hoping they go away?

Love the fact that our club, that's supposed to embrace the diverse values of liberal Brighton is willing to turn a blind eye to stuff like this video when there's money involved. Unacceptable really.

The Equality Act 2010 says you must not be discriminated against because:
You are (or are not) of a particular religion.
You hold (or do not hold) a particular philosophical belief.
Someone thinks you are of a particular religion or hold a particular belief. This is known as discrimination by perception.
You are connected to someone who has a religion or belief. This is known as discrimination by association.

The club do not have to host this, they have no obligation to, its being done purely for profit, so I don't really get the relevance of the equality act.

People can change (to quote the video) so could we make you gay do you think? Is that being 'precious'?

Part of being 'liberal Brighton' is allowing whomever wants to air their views the freedom to air them.

The club are not allowed to refuse the booking on the grounds that they are Jehovah witnesses. It is discrimination on grounds of religion.

Thankfully the 50% of my family who are JWs live over your way up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.

So because they are discriminatory to Gay's, we should be discriminate to their religion. Right Ho!
Two wrongs don't make a right you know.

Would we be embracing our diverse and liberal values if we didn't allow people to hold an event because we disagree with what they believe in?
What's the difference between saying "No JW at the Amex please", and "No gay weddings at the Amex please"?

So by your reasoning, when selling tickets the club should ask us our religion and if we say Jehovah Witness, refuse to sell them to us because we are not liberal enough? Why stop there. Why not have a full character assessment done and only allow those that meet the 'correct' level of diversity to buy tickets.

Thankfully JW's aren't violent and destructive like these liberal left who go around smashing up others property and injuring people.
That's why it's a better bet for the club to deal with JW's than politically motivated morons.
