Texas Restaurant That Refused 'Fag' Customers Touted As Gay Bar Online

A Texas restaurant that refused to serve "fag" customers is now getting some positive reviews online for being a "gay bar."

Internet users have taken to Yelp to write reviews about Big Earl's Bait House and Galley Cafe in Pittsburg, Texas, where a waitress told one gay couple not to return because they "don't serve fags here." The waitress who made the homophobic remark is the daughter of owner Earl Cheney, and Cheney defended her sentiment.

After the story broke on local news outlets, people began writing reviews for Big Earl's claiming the Texas restaurant is actually a gay bar. Its Yelp page has been flooded with photos of same-sex couples and an image of the store's billboard has been manipulated to read "Big Gay Al's."

One Yelp review reads: "Lovely place to bring your same-sex partner to and show how much you love him/her as much as their food! The more flamboyant, the better!"

I love it. I knew the backlash would be swift.

2. Talk about a "bait and switch"

3. this strikes me as a really bad idea

Two months from now those reviews will still be there. Sending unsuspecting people into that situation will not end well.

Or maybe everyone who reads them will always see them as a poke at the owners and ignore them..I don't know for sure but the potential for some really bad outcomes seems more likely to me.

6. It's Pittsburg, Texas, population 4,500 so I doubt that anybody will think it is a gay haven.

However, it is the county seat of "Camp" County so who knows?

11. Maybe not

But it's on its way to being one.

15. Love the whiny comments from the "pro-family" lady

And the wait staff wasn't cramming her lifestyle down their throats?

17. wasn't this a story here 3 months back or so?

20. Yes. Similar response to another discriminatory act by...

a butcher? baker? Can't remember.

I wouldn't want any of my fellow sodomites going to that shithole by accident.
