An engaged couple in Missouri say they’re shocked and saddened after a restaurant in St. Charles County refused to host their rehearsal dinner upon learning they were in a same-sex relationship.
Kendall Brown told KMOV she had reached out to Madison’s Café in O’Fallon about booking dinner ahead of her wedding to Mindy Rackley on June 15, but claims she was told the restaurant couldn’t “condone” the brides-to-be’s nuptials.
“It just saddens me. I could not believe that really happened to us,” Rackley told KMOV. “I could not believe that still really happens in this world today.”
According to Brown, a woman on the other end of the line was willing to make dinner reservations for the group, but changed her mind upon asking for the “groom’s name” and learning there wouldn’t be one.
“She said, 'Your spouse is a woman?’” Brown said. “I said yes. And she said, ‘I’m sorry we are going to defer you to someone else because we don’t condone that kind of relationship.”
Brown said the woman also told her she was in an “unhealthy relationship.” Rackley added that she was appalled by the woman's comments, which made her feel “less than human."(snip)
Missouri’s Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on sex and race, but not specifically sexual orientation, Yahoo notes. But Fox 2 contacted the city of O’Fallon for clarification, and officials said a municipal code may have been violated.(snip)
Brown added that she has no ill-will toward the restaurant, despite the disappointing turn of events.
“They’re human too.”

Looks like a male/female wedding to me. yeesh.
Gnarly.
Which one is the woman?
Hey - if YouTube and google and Apple and Facebook and Chase and PayPal and salesforce and Shopify can refuse service because they don’t like their customers ideologies or beliefs than so can normal people.
We have icky weather and bugs during the summer but we have this and constitutional carry so...go Missouri :)
How is that a woman?
““I could not believe that still really happens in this world today.”
And that’s the problem. It is going to happen in a country that has privileges that are being changed. The real thing here is that she shouldn’t expect everyone to have the same belief she and her partner do. Lesbianism is not the norm, it is the minority, and it will have people that have a right to consider it not within their scope of comfort. Additionally the couple should respect someone’s attitude toward it. That’s how Americans work. We let those have their opinions and as long as it doesn’t do harm, it is condoned. Go somewhere else. You expect them to respect your opinion but you refuse to respect theirs publicly.

Well, the one, “He look-a-like a man”.
How do you rehearse a lesbian dance? How do you decide who leads? Do you take turns? Do you discuss it beforehand?
Neither
Hey! Live and let live. At least the Lezzies don’t cause abortions.
The same way they rehearse their sex acts.
YouTube and Twitter refuses to host many conservatives.
Remember your rights dont apply to private companies, lefties. Right???
One thing for sure. It’s all over and done lickety split.
Neither.
Exactly. Lesbians and queers are disgusting to me. All these perverts need to be HUNG.
Well, I guess we know which one is the “dude”.
Now we know who’s going to the Re-Education Kamp.
I was thinking it was The Dude from The Big Lebowski.
