This. It's the reason I don't really care about most kinds of discrimination. I just want knowledge of discrimination made public and then I believe the situation will work itself out. Much as it is doing here in this example.




Pretty much this.

I have no issue with the refusal of service.



Fixed that for you.

The restaurant is in the public domain and as such it MUST serve anyone that meets normal rules for enetering a business establishment, ie, clothed, acting reasonably civilized, etc.


The owners have no right to 'Soup Nazi' the guy.

what about a DHS/TSA supporter being forced to endure a strip search before being allowed into a restaurant?

By telling an asshole he isn't welcome in the place of business that she built, manages, and keeps open.... she is acting just like a guy who tries to outlaw the word gay and runs around telling everyone that gays are evil?

Uh..no.

however, since voting is worthless, maybe this is the only way we can get a message to the ruling elite.


stop serving them untill they fix the middle class.

you fuckers want to eat, get your car fixed, buy a new fridge or shoes?
get one of your rich, 1%, buddies to hook you up.
lets see how you do without our services.

If she can refuse service based on that it should also be legal to do the same with race, gender, or sexual orientation
