A young man and his girlfriend booked into an independent youth hostel in Brighton. They asked to be accommodated in single sex dorms but when they arrived they had an all-female dorm for the young lady but had no all-male dorms at all so only offered the young man a mixed-sex dorm which he refused. They asked for a refund but it was refused and they stayed in a nearby hotel that cost them much more. Our youth organisation checked this out and we were told that they have only female and mixed dorms but no male dorms claiming that all-male dorms may encourage homosexuality! Equal Opportunities UK state that this is illegal but will take no action. They feel cheated so what can they do? (There is a YHA youth hostel opening in Brighton soon so the problem will not happen again).
Youth hostel discrimination.
