Jackie and Toni Smith, life partners were led straight out the doors of IHOP after exchanging a kiss on the lips. And who would have ever thought it would have taken place in Kansas the wonderful land of Oz?
Their kiss was not of heated passion or an exchange of tongue and saliva.
It was a simple kiss on the lips. This was attested to by the couple who sat in the booth next to them.
But, the Manager stated this was a family restaurant and 'We can't accept it and We won't accept it.' Then, he threw them out.
There's major problems at hand here, even more so than the most obvious. First, there is no Federal Law protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination. Second, in the city of Kansas and the state of Missouri there are no local or state laws enacted for their protection either.
Meaning you can discriminate against them. You don't have to rent them to, so that's unfair housing. If you think your tenant is a homosexual you can evict them. You don't hire because of their sexual orientation and of course they can be fired due to it. The more I write this the more it just sounds crazy.
So I think I'm going to click my heels and maybe all the hatred and discrimination will just go away!
In this day & age we are still subjected to this type of discrimination and ridicule. I never liked their food anyways.
