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.
[6] In 2007, Audrey Vachon filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Quebec.
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".
