Gay Couple Told Not To Return To Texas Restaurant

We're just saying, if they were really doing something inappropriate then she should have put a stop to it right then and there. Considering that she failed to tell them to stop what they were doing I'd say her claim that they were doing anything highly inappropriate is a false one that she's trying to use it now to save face for suddenly getting bad press due to her unique choice of words towards these patrons.

 

Thats just plain silly. It would have only been worse if the waitress would've caused a big scene. According to the account, there still wouldn't have been a scene if the guys hadn't caused one at the register.

Youre just grasping at invisible straws.

 

One more time: I don't assume that the couple was blameless in this matter. As for the owner, his own words say all we need to know about his side.

By way of contrast, you jump to the wildly speculative conclusion that "gays were on a mission to 'expose' the owner". What you base that on, other than your own deep anti-gay bias, we don't know - certainly nothing from the accounts that either side gave.

But if you want make yourself look even more foolish than you've already accomplished, by all means - keep running your mouth.

 

The inability of some members to distinguish between gay individuals, and the inability to even consider that maybe the couple was innocent is no less baffling.

It's like being a bigot makes one think they have poetic license to spout whatever nonsense they please without having to hear or answer the valid criticism of the same.

And the whole "butt sex" remark just reveals what this is really about - it's about stigmatizing an entire group by trying to evoke disgust for some behavior that not all gay people engage in; even more revealing that it's aimed just at gay men while the lesbians are ignored as usual.

Dig the whole deeper.

What "scene" was caused at the register? Quote us the relevant portion of the story, please. Seems like you're the one grasping at straws (more like making (*)(*)(*)(*) up!)

 

The inability of some members to even consider that gays might not be in the wrong is equally baffling. Its like engaging in butt sex gives one poetic license to behave badly.

 

I have yet to see anyone proclaim these two men are innocent of what they were accused of by the bigot, it is just that bigots have a tendency to lie to paint homosexuals as disgusting.
Most people without an agenda would have stopped the incident then, no rational person would have allowed it to continue. If they would have said we do not allow inappropriate behavior and asked them to leave (or called the police) we would not be having this conservation.

Instead they said "we do not serve gay people here". And all the bigots cheer
The fact that you cannot see this argument shows your agenda.

The anti-gay lobby has nothing but hysteria. Facts and logic need not apply.

 

Appears the anti-gay lobby (whatever that may be) doesn't need to do anything but sit back and watch as gays confirm all the stereotypes they should be trying to disprove... like inappropriate PDAs.

Every incident like this chips away at 'normalizing' gayness.

Act like a fringer, you'll always be treated like a fringer. Sad, but true.

 

Nah, it probably has to do with the same hate displayed by the restaurant owner daughter is presented daily on this forum. So it strengthens the claim that it happened.

I guess a "whites only" sign would work in this instance also, eh?

 

Good point, maybe she needed the $$$ or something but, why didn't they deny it? All they said was that they were sitting on separate sides of the booth and not doing much talking. Do you agree that IF they were doing the 'nasty' it would have been inappropriate?

 

Appears that the gay community doesn't need to do anything but sit back and watch as bigots confirm all the stereotypes they should be trying to disprove- like telling gays that 'no 'F****' are allows or that 'no 'N******' are allowed.

Absolutely. Certainly I have seen couples behaving inappropriately before, and its completely appropriate for any business to tell them so.

Do you agree that if the waitress said "We don't serve 'F****' here, that would have been 'inappropriate'?

 

it tends to be a judgment call. I witnessed a manager ask a group to leave because one guy was groping a girl down her shirt. They were being loud as well and the grope was the proverbial straw on the camel's back.

I waited tables to pay my way through college and many times my manager would quietly ask people not to return while they were paying their bill (old days of going to a register to pay). The reasons were varied be it being disrespectful to the servers, trashing the place as well as occasional inappropriate behavior (sexual)

This might well have been a time when although they were engaged in footonballs, they were otherwise not disturbing people and most could not witness the massaging of penis with a foot. So, in order to keep it quiet and discrete, the waitress chose to wait until they were leaving to inform them that their behavior is unwelcome.

 

I would not have called them any names because it is rude to do so. If they were playing footsie and doing the 'nasty' for all my patrons to see I would have busted them right then and there but, I would not have called them names. I probably would have told them to stop or they'd have to leave whether they be gay or straight.

 

Then oddly enough, we are in total agreement here.

 

Definitely and I would have expected the waitress or restaurant manager to say something to put a stop to it. But they didn't when they saw it happening. Bit odd.

That's what a normal and totally level headed person would have done. Clearly there's something very fishy with this entire story.

 

Yeah that's why I called it (in an earlier post) media 'reality.' Basically not enough information but, the subject is very controversial and gets people talking, debating maybe arguing.....Bottom line.....Covers a super large demographic, sells media time, media makes more $$$$ etc., etc.

 

I'm trying my best to stick to what we KNOW about this event while you're all over the place trying to 'prove' I'm wrong about something. For pete's sake... put down that pitchfork and try to think in a rational manner. You're giving gay supporters a bad name.

 

Hardly

"It does sound fishy... I'm beginning to think the gays were on a mission to 'expose' the owner. "

What we know is that the gay couple claims the waitress told them that the place doesn't serve "F****'

And the owner says they were engaged in inappropriate contact under the table.

That is all we 'know'- everything else is pretty much speculation.

I am going with assuming that both accounts are true- and have no problem with blaming the gay couple for their inappropriate action, and blaming the waitress for telling them that they don't serve 'f****' there.

 

Exactly. Maybe they'll listen to you.

The footsie boys:



- A gay couple who left Big Earl's Restaurant in Pittsburg, Texas after having a meal there were told by the waitress not to come back.

 

As in ""F***' are not welcome here......

 

Probably the single biggest thing that's ever happened in Pittsburg, Texas. Big Earl couldn't buy publicity like that. Bet he's making a killing.

 

Absolutely- I am sure most of the customers there agree as much with the waitress as you do.

 

I never said I agree with what the waitress said. Only that she had a right to ask them not to come back. The name calling was rude and unnecessary.

But then again, we don't know what they said to her, do we?

 

If they said something nasty wouldn't she have said so? She didn't, just like she failed to put a stop the the alleged inappropriate behavior while it was happening.

 

Nope- but we know what she said to them.
