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

[edit]

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]
