“Gay Dog” Barred from Restaurant

Oh come on… like I COULD make this stuff up! (h/t – Mark Steyn)

An Adelaide restaurant that refused a blind man entry because a waiter thought his guide dog was “gay” has been ordered to apologise and pay compensation.

Ian Jolly was told he could not take guide dog Nudge into the Thai Spice last May because a member of staff objected, The Sunday Mail reported.

The restaurant’s owners said a misunderstanding had arisen between Jolly’s female companion and a waiter who understood the woman “to be saying she wanted to bring a gay dog into the restaurant”.

“The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog,” the owners said in a statement to South Australia’s Equal Opportunity Tribunal.

The tribunal on Friday ordered the restaurant to pay Jolly $1500 and offer him a written apology for discriminating against him on the grounds of disability.

Actually, I’d like to find out this technique to “desex” a dog and make it a “gay dog”.  I actually think there is a business opportunity here….

  2. I’m having flashbacks to 1st season South Park, with “Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Animal Sanctuary.”

    Although, when you think about it, if you say “guide” in a heavy australian accent, it can sound like “gay.” Why the staff thought the person would be announcing his dog’s sexual orientation to them, however, is beyond me.

  6. First, you can’t know if a dog is gay.
    Second, if a dog is motivated to reproduce by primal instincts as we believe they do they can’t be gay.
    Third, to discriminate against a blind person because of their dog is just wrong.
    Lastly, I’m appalled that such a thing would even happen.

  7. OMG!!! Can a animal even be gay or even Bi (Like Myself?) and if so why dose it mater? Just hearing what the waiter said I fell less intelligent for having herd it.
