there's no reason to deny guide dogs into a restaurant
what if he falls over or something?
did you know that there's such thing as guide horses?
If they had known it was a guide dog they would have let it in.

The article title is horribly misleading.
The restaurant doesn't allow dogs, the person to whom he was speaking misheard him and thought he said he wanted to bring a gay dog inside rather than a guide dog. Naturally, they refused. It wasn't because the dog was gay but because it was a dog.
I think it's silly that they have to pay all that money over a misunderstanding. Whatever happened to people who didn't cry blood over the littlest things?
Agreed.
I found this article very confusing to follow as well...

Ok 2 things...
1) I never thought of checking to see if dogs were gay or not, they just do it.:thumb:
2) It's a freaking dog! Why in the heck would they not allow a "gay" dog into a restraunt? Are they afraid it's gonna begin humping ever man's leg in sight?@_@ Honestly... the restraunt was an idiot. They need to send that money just because they acted so idiotically. :pissedoff:

The blind dood probably said guide but it ended up sounding like gay so I can see the confusion. But kicking em out over that.....talk about homophobic.

Wow, ok...guys listen to yourselves. This is not a gay rights issue, this is a dog rights issue...the article simply flavored the wording to confuse you and it's working like a charm.
The dog wasn't allowed in because it is a dog not because of it's sexual orientation. The only reason the gay part was included is because they misheard guide. If they knew it was guide and not gay the dog would have been allowed in.

I agree with Juno.
YOU CAN'T ALLOW ANIMALS INTO RESTAURANTS!
The Health Department will cite the hell out of a restaurant with animal hair/dander/germs floating around it. A guide dog is an exception because they are a service animal that is highly trained to behave. I worked in a department store with just a pantry section (food in packages) and we had to ask people to take their lapdogs back to the car.
Whether the dog is gay or not, HE CAN'T COME IN!

Why is she getting paid $1,500?
This sort of seems like the owner's fault...
Even if the person said "Sorry we don't allow dogs here" she should have clarified she was blind and that it was a service dog.
How did Guide turn into Gay anyways...

Don't know how Australians pronounce the word "gay", but that's what I'm guessing where the confusion came from.

MISLEADING ARTICLE.
I didn't understand it until I read your comments.
And the pronunciation misunderstanding makes sense if Australians pronounce gay as GAI, like GUIDE = GAID.
Yay, Phonetics!
