Boston, Mass., Dec 7, 2022 / 14:30 pm A Christian pro-family organization in Virginia was told by a local restaurant that the organization would not be allowed to host a gathering there because of its values.
The Family Foundation — which has a mission of promoting biblical, family values in the state of Virginia — had a Nov. 30 reservation at the Metzger Bar and Butchery in Richmond in order to update some of their supporters on their work.
An owner of the restaurant contacted the organization an hour and a half before the event was to take place to inform them that their reservation was cancelled.
The owners of the restaurant put out a statement on social media Dec. 1 explaining their reasoning.
“Metzger Bar and Butchery has always prided itself on being an inclusive environment for people to dine in,” the statement says.
“In eight years of service we have very rarely refused service to anyone who wished to dine with us. Recently we refused service to a group that had booked an event with us after the owners of Metzger found out it was a group of donors to a political organization that seeks to deprive women and LGBTQ+ persons of their basic human rights in Virginia,” it says.
Victoria Cobb, vice president of The Family Foundation, condemned the restaurant’s actions, saying that discrimination toward someone because of their faith is against the law.

That’s denial of service based on religion and that’s a violation of civil rights act of 1963.
Can I run an “inclusive” restaurant that keeps out people I don’t like?
Bake The Cake.
Lots of discussion here - same subject, different source:

But bake that cake or face legal and financial ruin and destruction of your reputation.
Blatantly illegal.
I will never set one foot in that place.
Move to another restaurant. Problem solved. You can spend your money anywhere you want
"Inclusiveness" means "no Christians allowed," don't you know?
Bankruptcy on the horizon.
This is a violation of their civil rights. It’s no different than not serving blacks or gays or jews.
That restaurant is going to go bankrupt. For good reason.
I would stay away from that eatery. I give a wide berth to any restaurant frequented by sodomites because I love my health and don’t want to come down with hepatitis B or C or AIDS.
If the woke chef didn’t want them there, she should have not accepted the reservation, then cancel it 90 MINUTES prior.
That’s some real woke hate, right there.
Got to open the can of worms first.
They were lucky and just don’t know it.
They should find a diner run by an old-country Greek, who would not only welcome their business because it is business, but also would stand a good chance of agreeing with them. But first, if this is a legal violation, they should get a good lawyer who will make life unpleasant for the Butchery.
Blatantly illegal.

Nonsense! NOTHING is illegal in third-world countries held captive by a criminal regime unless that regime declares it to be so!
