Israel Folau inadvertently donates to queer youth organization<\/b><\/p>\n

A lesbian<\/a>-owned vegan restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand, says it has donated the money Israel Folau and his wife Maria paid for a meal to a local queer youth charity.<\/p>\n

Rugby player Folau has been making headlines for several months for asserting his Christian-based beliefs that gay<\/a> people go to hell. His social media postings led to his contract with Rugby Australia being terminated.<\/p>\n

He is currently attempting to sue his employer for unlawful termination but has not kept quiet on his anti-gay<\/a> views. Earlier this week, during a church sermon, he suggested recent wildfires in Australia were the result of people ignoring the word of God: specifically that marriage should be between one man<\/a> and one woman<\/a> only.<\/p>\n

Folau and his wife dined at Gorilla Kitchen on Symonds Street in Auckland earlier this month, but unbeknown to them, the lesbian<\/a>-owned restaurant decided to put his money to good use.<\/p>\n

Posting earlier today on their Facebook page, a spokesperson said: \u201cRainbow Youth donation from Israel Folau\u2026 Seems strange doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\u201cWell we are proud to say that Israel Folau and his wife Maria Folau have inadvertently shown their support to Rainbow Youth.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t turn anyone away at Gorilla Kitchen, because we love everyone, not just animals. So when Israel and Maria came in again a couple<\/a> of weeks ago we happily served them, hydrated them and fed them. What they didn\u2019t realize was their money spent at Gorilla Kitchen was going to be donated to Rainbow Youth, an organization that embraces diversity and offers support for our young and vulnerable rainbow community.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlad to see they are not #notashamed for supporting such a great cause.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to support a great charity then head over to @rainbowyouth\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, a few people have criticized the restaurant and said they will avoid it for taking such a stance. However, the vast majority of comments praised it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely Brilliant!! I hope to visit your restaurant one day,\u201d commented Emma Duffy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of all sane Australians & fellow Humans. THANK YOU,\u201d added Adam Maggot.<\/p>\n
