Lynch, in a statement emailed by his law firm, said he was pleased with the outcome. “Race-based ticket pricing violates all our civil rights, regardless of which race is on the receiving end of the discrimination,” he wrote, adding, “I consider it a victory for civil and human rights.”

Joyce 9 said: "Settled out of court. PH apologized but no admission of wrongdoing. They won’t tie discounts to race again. We don’t know if there was any payout to Kevin Lynch.

This is ridiculous. They should have never caved in.
I'm never paying a ticket to see anything from PH ever again.
The idea of race, much like sexual orientation, was invented by the powerful so we would hate each other. And those like Lynch? They're just pawns.

Nauseating. White nationalists with deep pockets using the legal system to bully an arts non-profit into bowing to their racism.

I don't agree. Playwrights Horizons needs our support more than ever. No one deserves to be in the shooting target of these creeps.

I agree with FLarnhill. If you give in to this kind of evil, you are very much part of the problem.

The law firm Consovoy McCarthy has very powerful backers and it’s probable that it was fishing for a case to send to the Trump Supreme Court to be codified into Federal Law. I believe they’ve already had cases they initiated sent there which they’ve won.

It was cheaper to pay this guy off and not be embarrassed further by the inevitable loss.
