It’s okay to be gay in pub­lic. It’s okay to be gay in pri­vate. But it’s not okay to be gay at the Native New Yorker at 48th St and Ray in Phoenix, AZ.

From ASU stu­dent David Ander­son:

Last night (August 12) at Native New Yorker, because some of the patrons were uncom­fort­able with gay peo­ple in the bar, the bar­tender looked for, and suc­cess­fully found an excuse to kick us out.

Wait, what? That can’t be true, right? You can’t get kicked out of the NNY for being gay, can you?

But before he did, he made sure to con­firm the rea­son was because other guests didn’t want us there and he reminded our group that NNY is a straight bar. If I mean any­thing to you, please don’t eat there ever again.

While I can’t con­firm the NNY’s story, this is ter­ri­ble. They should be ashamed of themselves.
