Audrey Vachon says she filed the complaint after the staff at Le Stud, in Montreal's gay village, refused to serve her.
Vachon, 20, says she and her father, Gilles Vachon, had stopped in at Le Stud on a quiet afternoon recently to kill some time when a waiter came over and told him the bar doesn't serve women.
“He asked us to leave," she told CBC's French-language service. "We said it’s illegal to discriminate like that. But we didn’t have much time to argue. We just left.”
