Court: Women-only gym areas violate state discrimination law

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that women-only exercise areas in gyms and fitness clubs violate a state law banning discrimination based on gender. The court's 6-0 decision Tuesday overturned a lower court ruling and an earlier decision by a state human rights official. The case involved two men who complained about women-only exercise areas at two gyms - an Edge Fitness Club in Stratford and a Club Fitness in Bloomfield. The case drew high interest from a variety of advocacy groups. Justices ruled there is no implied customer gender privacy exception to a state law prohibiting discrimination based on gender.
