==Southern Trace Country Club discrimination suit==

In 2003, two women challenged the existence of an all-male grill in the popular Southern Trace Country Club of Shreveport. They argued that the grill is a "public" facility under the law, and therefore subject to Louisiana statutes barring discrimination based upon sex. The club raised privacy concerns to justify its exlusionary policy. Judge Brun ruled that the all-male policy in the club's Men's Grille did not violate the state constitution because it did not constitute “arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable discrimination based on sex.”​ This decision was later appealed and reversed by the Louisiana 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals on the grounds that economic factors and male preference are not an appropriate objective by which to justify discrimination.<ref>http://caselaw.findlaw.com/la-court-of-appeal/1475683.html</ref>
