A couple visiting Boston was appalled after being forced out of the Liberty Hotel during a Kentucky Derby event. Ansley Baker and her girlfriend Liz Victor, both cisgender women, were confronted by a security guard in the women's restroom, who wrongfully accused Baker of being in the wrong bathroom. After being insulted by other women and asked to show IDs, they were removed from the hotel. The Liberty Hotel claims they were alerted to two adults sharing a stall, but Baker and Victor contest this, raising concerns about discrimination.
All of a sudden there was banging on the door, Baker recalled to CBS News. I pulled my shorts up. I hadn't even tied them.
The couple said that once Baker was escorted out, other women in line hurled insults, calling her a creep and demanding she be removed.
In a statement shared with CBS, the Liberty Hotel accuse the two women of sharing one stall: An incident occurred at the Liberty Hotel on Saturday.
The Liberty Hotel is and always will be an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and a place where everyone is welcome and celebrated.
