After defending the actions of a security guard who threw a lesbian couple out of a women's restroom and accused one of them of being a man, a five-star hotel in Boston has suspended the guard and admitted he acted in error.

In addition to sidelining the staff member, the Liberty Hotel on Boston's Beacon Hill said all staff are being retrained "on inclusive practices and guest interaction protocols." The hotel is also donating to a local LGBTQ+ organization, WBZ News reports.

The hotel's statement issued Tuesday was in stark contrast to their initial reaction to the incident on Saturday during a Kentucky Derby viewing party, when the guard stormed into the women's restroom in the hotel lobby and began banging on stall doors. He accused one of the lesbian partners of being a man.

"I pulled my shorts up. I hadn't even tied them. One of the security guards was there telling me to get out of the bathroom, that I was a man in the women's bathroom. I said, 'I'm a woman.'"

As Baker was escorted out, the women said, other women in line for the restroom hurled insults at her, calling Baker "a creep" and demanding she be removed. The security guard then demanded to see the women's IDs to prove their gender.

After a heated exchange, the couple was told to leave the hotel.
