I can't believe how dim-witted some people are.

"An Australian restaurant has been forced to apologize and pay compensation after refusing to let a blind man enter because they thought his dog was gay.

In May 2009, Ian Jolly, 57, was attempting to dine at the Thai Spice restaurant in Adelaide, when he was refused entry after staff misheard his female companion, and thought his "guide dog" was a "gay dog."

"The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog," the owners said in a statement to South Australia's Equal Opportunity Tribunal.

Jolly is now set to receive a written apology and $1,400 compensation.

However, Jolly said that the situation had made him embarrassed about going to restaurants.

"I just want to be like everybody else and be able to go out for dinner, to be left alone and just enjoy a meal," he told Australian press."

the dog wasn't the real bitch here

the funny thing is that the dog doesn't even know what the hell is going on or where puppies come from.

The restaurant would have had no issue, of course, had the dog been believed to be a ladyboydog.

Sometimes i just don't want to live here

why did I just imagine a canine vogue battle


Bitch, these kibbles and bits gave me LIFE!

Yeah, it was cute a few times. It doesn't need to be worked into EVERY negative critique.

ZombieKitten said:

thank you! Dogs aren't generally allowed in restaurants

did it like fish sticks?

This guy is blind so isn't this basically discrimination against the disabled?

And how the hell can anyone living in a town called Adelaide be engaging in bigotry. Hello!!!! Adelaide?

the dog doesn't bark, it simply says "Chi!"

This confuses me, because Thais don't discriminate against gay, transgender, or anything that veers from 'normal' when issues of sexuality are involved.

Were the owners actually Thai?
I would be very, VERY surprised if they were. Perhaps they were westernized or of a non-Buddhist faith.

OMG this is the funniest and saddest s**t I've ever heard. You refuse entry to a blind man not because of his disability. Oh no. Because you suspect his guide dog is gay????

Who gives a s**t if the dog is gay? What does this have to do with anything? Are they afraid he'll hump one of the waiters? That's some bulls**t, man. Really now...I think they got something against the blind man (probably because of his disability) and they're just blaming the dog. Pathetic.

OK, I just read ZombieKitten's response and this situation might make a bit more sense to me now.

Perhaps the owners had a no-dog policy and not realizing it was a 'guide' dog they refused to let the dog in.

But then of course, how could they not know the guy was blind, and assume the dog was there to help him get around?

Just when U thought U knew who the stupidest person is....there comes someone else out of the woodworks.

It sounds as though the restaurant DID think the dog was gay and refused admittance of dog based on that.

I think anywhere food is served is has a no-dog policy it's a guideline stipulated by the council's health and safety/food handling whatever it is thingy.
