Unfortunately, it's hard these days not to be a bit skeptical of these types of claims, especially since we don't know the other side of the story.

Hard to believe this happened in Chicago. As you say, given all the bogus accusations, I'll wait for more information.

It's not a matter of that. This is a matter of treating another human with dignity.

Okay. The owner just lost the couples money and that of other gays, gay couples and those who might have heard the story and are so offended. IMO a bad business decision but should be allowable. The marketplace will sort it out.

It should be ANY business owners right to kick anyone out of their business or to deny them services.....plain and simple. Government shouldn't be involved at all.

You making a case for legality, im making a humanitarian case. YES THE OWNER HAS THE RIGHT. Should the owner not face any social consequences? If a christian owner ousted a muslim out of a restaurant, should society not get involved and tell the owner that the muslim is a human and to treat the other human as dignity.

The radial right is normalizing hate by hiding behind and enticing the lawsuits. They will hide behind "religious freedom" until they are the superior race and orientation and everyone is beneath them.

I wonder if Smollett has an alibi for this one.
