“Gay Dog” Barred from Restaurant

April 25, 2010 by Bruce Carroll

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….

    Any waiter who works at a place called “Thai Spice” has got more than gay dogs to worry about if orientation is a concern.

    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.

    I’m rather homophobic when it comes to dogs. I know a guy that knows a guy whose cousin says that all gay dogs have AIDS!

    Hmm, is it time for a ‘Don’t ask, don’t bark’ policy?

    If the guy is blind, what’s the point of a written apology?

    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.
