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.”

I’m guessing that’s Kendall.
says Ayatollah Lumper20...
I saw that ad last night. The girl calls one “Pop” and the other one “Dad”. How realistic is that scenario? Why do they feel the need to cater to such a tiny population?
Hanged.
What? Sexual perverts parading around openly without getting spit on? Yeah, I can't believe it either.
Guarantee they purposefully picked that particular venue to sue.
One usually looks manly so why don't they just go with the real thing?
>>> “They’re human too.” <<<
Check please!
Glad you confirmed it. That’s what I thought I saw, too.
Teenager has two daddies - smart move GE - tick off the 98% to cater to the 2%.
I worked for “the man” once - her girlfriend was obviously “the chick”.

Face it PERVS ! Without us heteros U wouldn’t be here !
Romans 1:24-28 New International Version
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
I know a couple quite like them. They were kind enough to put me up when I was in Georgia for a dear friend’s memorial service, the gathering of friends was held in their living room.
They couldn’t have been more gracious.
