[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Is the fact that this is "art" not a more complex legal issue? I'd say no. It's a business, and it discriminates based on gender. Seems pretty black and white. If they weren't an actual business and didn't make profits, then that would make more sense from an "it's art" defense permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dustyData@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* Art is entitled to profit. Museums, cinema, theater, music concerts, all of those are art and are business. They aren't mutually exclusive categories. Artists are humans that need a livelihood as well and are also entitled to the revenue of their art to afford their continued creation of art. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago Yeah imagine movies or theatre shows costing money to see.
