Buffalo Wild Wings Customer Leaves Note for Gay Waiter: ‘I Don’t Tip Faggots – U Need Jesus’

Kyle Griffith, a waiter at Buffalo Wild Wings in Louisville, Kentucky, found a hateful anti-gay message on his receipt from a customer rather than a tip.

WDRB reports:

“I ended up cashing them out, gave them boxes, told them if they needed anything else before they headed out to let me know,” Griffith said.  Everything was going well until it was time to pick up the check.

“And it said ‘Sorry I don’t tip f*****s,’ and then said ‘#UNeedJesus,’ and it just crushed me that someone could say something like that,” Griffith said.

He says a young woman left him the handwritten message on her receipt without a tip.

“I depend on those tips to be able to pay my bills and everything else … to live, to eat, everything,” Griffith said.

Griffith shared the receipt on Facebook to spread awareness about the hate he receives as a gay man:

I made my recent post to show some awareness for my gay community, and what we deal with on a daily basis… with that being said, I didn’t share this to spread the hate she so carelessly displayed. I shared it in hopes to show the hatred in the world we still live in, and to open at least an eye to the worlds problems. (To solve a problem everyone has to see the problem before it can be fixed)

No MORE denial, we need to stop spreading hate for one another, after all we’re all GODs children. (She doesn’t deserve to be threatened or hurt by anyone) this hate is what fueled her to write thIs! Stop fighting fire with fire, when we all know what puts one out! ??
Love you all thanks for all your support!

Buffalo Wild Wings released a statement about the incident:

“We’re disappointed to learn about the comment left on a receipt by a Guest at one of our independently owned franchise locations in Louisville recently. Because Buffalo Wild Wings is about creating a great guest experience, we feel strongly that our restaurant environment needs to be respectful in order to provide the experience that our Guests and Team Members expect and deserve.“

Griffith said his employer has “had his back”.

CNN captures Donald Trump watching a blaring television on Air Force One instead of doing his job

This just in: Donald Trump’s TV-binging habits are here to stay.

Not only did the New York Times write a whole feature detailing his daily television watching schedule, which includes three hours every morning plus several more hours in the evening, but his aides have been complaining that he won’t stop turning on cable news and obsessing over what people think about him, a claim that seems to be corroborated by his constant whining to the press, who he hates, about what other people (politicians, journalists, celebrities, random folks on Twitter, etc.) are saying about him.

Now, CNN inadvertently captured an example of the Jolly Orange Giant’s obsession when they cut to him riding Air Force One only to discover that, instead of doing his job, he was blabbing to reporters about how “really beautiful” and “great” the airplane was while a television set blared commercials in the background at a near-deafening volume.

That’s right. The 70-year-old leader of the free word (cringe) couldn’t even turn it off (or down) for five minutes to talk to reporters.

Watch the painfully awkward clip below. And, remember, call 800-588-2300 Empire today.

SATURDAY. Trump and Putin to speak on the phone: “Trump has said in the past that, as part of the rapprochement he is seeking with Russia, he is prepared to review sanctions Washington imposed on Russia over its 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula. That move is likely to face resistance from both influential figures in Washington and foreign leaders — Merkel among them — who argue sanctions should only be eased if Moscow complies with the West’s conditions on Ukraine. Trump and Putin have never met and it was unclear how their very different personalities would gel.”

OF COURSE. Poll shows Trump supporters think it’s okay for him to have a private email server by a margin of 42 to 39.

NYT. Spineless Republicans now marching with Trump.

COMING SOON. Coal, methane regulations to be tossed aside.

CDC. LGBT youth summit indefinitely postponed: “Copies of internal planning documents provided to TPM refer to a one-day gathering in which “national leaders” would meet at the CDC’s Roybal campus in Atlanta in order “to address the health and well-being of LGBTQ youth.” The source told TPM that staffers were first informed about the event in late September and weekly planning meetings were held through the week of the election.”

Even though some of our hearts beat to a different drum, I’ve found that there’s a place for me here and people of all different kinds. There’s a great Miranda Lambert song, “All Kinds of Kinds” – I think that’s pretty indicative of country music. There’s a great variety of different kinds of people that love it. That’s certainly been my experience.”

NO POLITICS. Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show will not make that kind of statement.

ON TOUR. Adam Lambert and Queen announce huge U.S. summer tour.

STUDY. Generation X more addicted to social media than Millennials: “Adults from 35 to 49 were found to spend an average of six hours and 58 minutes on social media per week, compared with the six hours and 19 minutes that their younger counterparts spent on such sites. More predictably, adults 50 and over spent significantly less time on social media, with an average of four hours and nine minutes on the networks per week.”

JOSH BERNSTEIN. Right-wing radio host refers to Women’s March as Million Skank March: “I’ve been renaming it the ‘Million Skank March’ for a reason,” he said, “because these women were absolutely horrendous, dressing up in women’s private parts costumes and running around … I’ve talked to lots of women on both sides of the aisle and they are disgusted by the behavior of these Hollywood elite idiots.”

Two Gay Men in Ivory Coast Still Seek Explanation for their Imprisonment

Two Ivorian men who were arrested in October and released from prison this week remain unclear as to their offense. While it is presumed that a public indecency law was used to inculpate both openly gay men, they deny any improper behavior or even sexual involvement with each other.

Ivory Coast does not outlaw same-sex relations, unlike some other African nations such as neighboring Nigeria, and typically has held a reputation for tolerance towards its LGBT community. However, there are troubling signs that this may be changing, especially following the recent abuse of men who were inadvertently outed by the American embassy in Abidjan after being photographed signing a condolence book following the Orlando Pulse massacre. Previously in 2014, the country’s largest LGBT organization was targeted and its headquarters attacked by a large mob.

Yann, 31, and Abdoul, 19, were each initially detained in their southwestern village and then convicted with three-month sentences in November at a hearing in the coastal town of Sassandra. At the time, officials refused to comment on the specifics of the case, claiming that everything was already public record.  That refusal has continued even after the men’s release:

Though prosecutors have declined to confirm the charge against them, activists say if the indecency law was used it would be the first known instance of the provision being used to jail gay people in the country.

Graeme Reid, director of the LGBT rights program at Human Rights Watch, said: “A vague law, arbitrary arrests and an unexplained conviction: this is completely contrary to the rule of law. The government needs to come clean and offer an explanation to these two young men who have spent three months in jail for no apparent reason.”

“We were convicted in an unjust manner,” [said Yann.] “If there is no law that that condemns it, I don’t understand how we could have been convicted.”

Both men, without access to legal aid or LGBT resources given the remoteness of their locale, did not appeal their sentence in order to avoid prolonging the process. Now they plan to relocate to Abidjan, the largest city in Ivory Coast, in order to start over and hopefully elude further harassment by authorities. But their unfortunate case serves as a warning to Ivorian LGBT activists, as well as their allies abroad, to step up their efforts.

As befitting such a historical moment, crowds gathered as the despot and Kim smooched for the cameras.

According to Mashable, Dennis Alan, a 66-year-old musician from Chicago who played Trump, said:

“All my friends and acquaintances are saying that I have steady work, which is pretty rare for a professional musician particularly in America, anymore. So I’m looking forward to that. We’ll see if this will help me lead to that.”

Kim added: “I think he’s a great leader and he’s much like me, a dictator. And I think with that in mind he’s going to turn the United States into North Korea 2.0. So we’re going to be great friends.”
