A statement given by restaurant owners Hong Hoa Thi To and Anh Hoang Le said one of the restaurant's waiters said that Mr Jolly's partner Ms Chris Lawrence stated "she wanted to bring a gay dog into the restaurant." Mr Jolly and Ms Lawrence were refused entry to the restaurant - which displays a "guide dogs welcome" sign - even after providing staff with a guide dogs fact card. At an Equal Opportunity Tribunal conciliation hearing on Friday, the restaurant agreed to provide Mr Jolly with a written apology and attend an Equal Opportunity education course, in addition to paying him $1500. "The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog," a statement from the hearing said. Mr Jolly said while he was happy with the result, the embarrassing incident had dampened his enthusiasm for eating out at restaurants. "It gives you some comfort that Equal Opportunity is there," he said. "But I always have that fear now, when I go out. "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." Thai Spice refused to speak to the Sunday Mail when contacted for comment.[/release] [quote]"The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog,"[/quote] :wtc:
Wow. Just wow. You'd think people who work in a Thai restaurant would know about homosexuality.

"Hong Hoa Thi To" and "Anh Hoang Le" are Vietnamese names, not Thai.

[QUOTE=Silly;21564092]Rated informative. Doesn't explain why would a gay dog not be allowed in a restaurant or what does that matter at all.[/QUOTE] Because a gay dog doesn't mean it is a guide dog. They don't let normal pets in to restaurants, it has to be a service dog.
[QUOTE]Mr Jolly said while he was happy with the result[/QUOTE] What a surprise, Mr Jolly was happy with the result...
Wait a sec, how did he read the sign? I thought guide dogs were for the blind.
Can dogs be gay? I wonder if Cats can be Pussies too
Gay dog, whats next a gay baby?
