Can I be refused entry to bars, restaurants, nightclubs or other public spaces because of my gender identity or sexual orientation?

It is possible to impose limitations on the right to admission and stay, as long as it is not done for discriminatory reasons such as race, sexual orientation or gender identity. However, if it does occur, you will need to have reasons and/or evidence to support this. It is important to always write down names, discriminatory statements and carry written testimony detailing what happened (Judgment T-314 of 2011).
