A gay couple were told that they are not welcome at Big Earl’s Bait House and Country Store in Pittsburg, Texas because the restaurant doesn’t like fags.
After eating breakfast at Big Earl’s Bait House and Country Store, Collin Dewberry and his partner Kelley Williams were told by their server that they were not welcome to come back, KTLV-7 reported on Tuesday. [...]
The server’s father, owner Earl Cheney (“Big Earl”), told a local reporter that while “homosexuality, Blacks, [and] Hispanics” were all welcome to eat at his restaurant, it was the duo’s public display of affection that lead to their banishment. “A man’s supposed to stand up and be a leader. He’s not supposed to be a woman. He’s not supposed to come in here in a dress,” he explained. The couple denied the Cheney’s claim that they had been rubbing legs and Cheney refused to show the reporter the surveillance video. Cheney’s admitted his daughter told the couple the restaurant does not “like fags.”
Telling the couple that they don’t “like fags” is really just the tip of the shitberg here.
Big Earl’s; where men are manly men and women are subservient ladies.
I’m sure the caliber of men walking into Big Earl’s Bait House is unparalleled.
You know what would undoubtedly fix this? A “religious liberty” law that says Big Earl’s Bait House is actually a church and that the gay couple violated the church’s religious beliefs by being gay in public.
