Ahhh... nothing personal, mate, but why exactly is this worthy of a thread on FR?

Try as I might, I fail to see how this in any way aligns with the core values of FreeRepublic.

Again, why is this worthy of being posted here?

Colour Me confused...

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Thd obvious solution is for the gay bar to have rear entry only.

“Colour”

Welcome to America.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It had to be approved with them, which they did.

You can produce paperwork backing this up?

If not then obviously they DIDN'T.

What a trio of whining pansies.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Do they sell Bowel Burgers Au Jus?

[soycd]

Way too complex. Either you rent to poofters or you don’t. Keep it simple.

[PAR35]

My suggestion would be for them to give up the burgers, go with a German theme keep the Beer and feature sausages.

The after-hours club had a separate entrance and operated as an upstairs, 2,000-square-foot “speakeasy,” Ferro said, after Burger & Beer Joint had closed for the night. Ferro said he’s never before felt discriminated against because he’s gay. “It was chilling. In 2017, we shouldn’t be experiencing this.

50 years and gay bars are still running speakeasies. Mob involved as they were in the 1960s?

I found it interesting. To each his/her own.

[JimRed]

Is the franchise agreement with a Chik-fil-A type owner, and a morals clause in the contract?

[JimRed]

Ahhh... nothing personal, mate, but why exactly is this worthy of a thread on FR?

We should not be ignorant of what the enemy is doing and how it affects those surrounding it, including ourselves.

[nickcarraway]

Are you the P.C. police enforcing LGBT hegemony?

[kanawa]

He might be my neighbour.

"...“How can they say because they’re doing gay events that it’s hurting their brand?” ..."

That's not mayo on the burger!

[RegulatorCountry]

Kitchen for the restaurant is in the bar. The bar has the same address as the restaurant. If they can’t see several issues with this, from health inspection to muddying the brand ID, then they’re being obtuse. This would have happened whether or not the clientele of the bar was gay.

[Popman]

When you put your name on a contract, maybe you read it first...

Obviously, according to the article the B&B owner is in violation of his terms...

Not surprising for Miami, lots of people think they are above the law...

Too bad the guy is whining.... it’s not a gay issue...

That will get him a cup of coffee and change for his trouble...

Meh. Here in this little mountain town, I could not help but notice that more than a handful of the graduating girls went to their Senior Prom with another girl as their date.

I could not help but notice this as many of them were very attractive indeed, but felt no need to start a thread on it here or anywhere else for that matter.

I believe that is what ‘blogs’ are for, not that I post to any.

Glad you found it of interest, begorra.
