    During the week i was refused entry to a club, my foot is in a cast and im using one crutch to walk. The bouncer told me "i cant let you in like that, we're not covered" i told him i had'nt even been drinking and im probably the most sober person trying to get in here.

    I ended up having to get a taxi home on my own after being refused entry by this bouncer.

    Id like to know the law regarding this as i was discriminated against due to being lame?

    I mean what if a poor guy has his leg amputated, will he get the same unfair treatment?

    You are injured (broken leg), not suffering from an enduring physical disability (poor man with "leg amputated"). Disability is a ground for discrimination (along with gender, age, sexual orientation etc etc etc etc), while injury is not.
