Hawaiian tourist suing Boyd Gaming after employees confronted her about gender

A tourist is suing Boyd Gaming Corp. after a group of employees surrounded her, accused her of being a man trying to use the ladies’ restroom and smirked at her when she told them she was a woman, according to a complaint filed in Clark County District Court earlier this month.

Susan Ho, who travels from Hawaii to Las Vegas often, was in town for a bowling tournament at the Gold Coast on Oct. 6, 2011, when the incident happened, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint, which accuses the company of discriminating against Ho because she is a lesbian, outlines the following details:

Ho was in the bathroom at the casino when a woman in the restroom assumed Ho was a man. Ho clarified her gender for the woman, and when Ho left the bathroom, five to six casino employees were waiting for her.
