Well… If they are on top of the tables, that might get them kicked out….

Rumour has it there are "Irish" pubs in Boston that won't serve English people. An "Irish" friend of mine told me this. And by "Irish" I mean American.

As an "Irishman", Joe Biden should really do something about this.

Incidentally, this is particularly unfair since I also have a number of Irish ancestors, however I'm not a professional "Irishman".

Story #1) One employee that was immediately fired, and the couple was apologized to. Please note that it is and has been illegal in NY to refuse service based on sexuality.

Story 2) Please note that it is illegal in California for gay people to be refused service. It also appears there is more to the story with the staff disputing the claim, working with the police in an investigation, and with the gay couple screaming that we must shut them down now and not wait for the results of an investigation!

Story 3) They were not turned away. They are their meal in peace. But when they became overly physically demonstrative they were asked to stop and not return. Sounds like it escalated from there. If I inappropriately stroked Karla’s thigh at the restaurant I imagine I would be kicked out too.

As I said, nobody is kicked out for being gay, just doing gay things on the tables…

Some restaurants don't allow you to hold an impromptu gay pride parade in their establishment.
