Virginia gym allows gay parents to join after lawsuit by same-sex couple denied membership

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROANOKE, Va. -- A Roanoke fitness club has changed its membership policies after a gay man sued, claiming it sold him a family membership, then revoked it after realizing that his family consisted of two fathers and a son.

Carilion Clinic, the parent company of Roanoke Athletic Club, said Thursday on its Facebook page that it will offer household memberships to cohabiting couples and their dependent children under age 22 who live with them.

The change at Roanoke Athletic Club and Botetourt Athletic Club is taking place "in recognition of the many contemporary households that can benefit from our facilities," according to the posting. What had been called a "family membership" is now called a "household membership."
