In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, you don't exactly expect the red carpet rolled out for LGBTs, but this alleged bold ejection from a local bar underscores the ease with which discrimination can and does occur.

Joseph: "I was in the back of the bar, Catch 22, and we were picking music by the jukebox and the female owner of the bar just kicked out my friends for dancing 'too gay'...She proceeded to tell me that she was the owner of the bar and that if I'm to continue coming to her bar, that it's not OK to be open because it's not a gay bar and it never will be. And then she added that gay people disgust her."

As abhorrent as the bar owner's behavior might be, the bar is a private establishment and therefore not subject to the same laws as public places are. The bar owner has a right to refuse service to anyone.

Isn't that the city where elephants have lousy dental care?

and, isn't ALL dancing inherently gay by nature?
