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.”

One didn’t have a Subaru Outback by any chance, did they?

My ex wasn’t there...
LOL
Excuse me, but myself, as a person who mows lawns, I might be in the minority, but gays money is the same to me. I don’t discriminate. If a gay ask me to mow their lawn I’m not going to refuse. I don’t think anyone should...of course, I grew up with it being thrown upon us, but I have gay friends...
Lol!
Isn’t it funny how some people say you have to support their position. But people with an opposing position have no rights?
Thank you for the grammar correction. Perhaps you’ll need an Econ or Business lesson.
TY
I would not sleep in or visit that house.
My pleasure. It was really more of a usage thing than strictly grammar.
They were just tryin' to get in your pants.
The bible is clear about man with man and woman with woman. I would not work for them or take their money.
I could introduce you...
Odds are very good that you ate potato chips one of them made when she was a guy and an engineer.
Wrong. Go back to your fag pals.
Good one and true. Maybe backside too.
You live in the South. He ran the process at the largest potato chip factory a major snack food company has in the region.
Even if you don’t buy potato chips, in the unlikely event you’ve ever been invited to a party, chances are very good your host provided that brand. If so, you’ve had some that were made using processes and equipment that were under his direct responsibility.
Doubtful, they aren’t into guys...
She harbors no ill will but is willing to go public naming the place and so trying to destroy their reputation?
Liar.
