London restaurant reminds lesbian couple that this here is a 'family restaurant'

In the latest pro... I mean regressive news coming out of merry ole' progressive England, like how fag basing hate crimes are skyrocketing, we have a London restaurant telling a lesbian couple to stop being so gay in front of other customers because it might make them uncomfortable. They were also reminded that the fine establishment is a family restaurant (code word for no fags or dykes allowed) and that their public display of affection, unlike that of heteros, is contrary to that of a family environment. Because we all know that breeders are the only ones that can have family members right?

Lydia Cawson today told London Live of her shock after being asked by a member of staff at Canteen at the Royal Festival Hall to move away from her partner. 

The 29-year-old was comforting her partner after a stressful week in which she had moved house. Ms Cawson told Headline London she consoled her partner by putting her arm around her shoulder and a “peck on the lips”. 

The pair were then approached by a member of staff who asked them to move away from one another during the incident on Thursday evening, Ms Cawson said. 

She told London Live: "I didn't notice any adverse reaction in the restaurant, myself. Then the lady came over to us and said 'can you stop what you're doing please, this is a family restaurant'."

To save face the restaurant in question sent out a statement that they are pro-gay and that half of their staff is of a homosexual nature. Hopefully half the staff know that too. And one has to wonder, how does the restaurant know that half of their staff is gay? Is it less or more than half? Did they take a survey of all the employees, or maybe employees took a special kind of interview when they applied for a job there? Weird. The proper way of saying something like that would be: "and we even have gay people on our staff." Proclaiming that half of their staff is gay is just fucking pathetic and more like an exaggerated response to a very specific concern (the lesbian couple being treated like crap).

The restaurant also reportedly investigated the incident and said that they would have asked all other couples to do the same (as in don't show very mild forms of affection) regardless of sexual orientation. Valentines Day dinner must be very interesting at this place if couples are not allowed to even touch each other while enjoying their sweet pea soup or the traditional English favorite plate of faggots.

In a statement the restaurant said: ‘Everyone is welcome at Canteen, whether gay/straight/old/young regardless of sexuality. 

‘We are horrified at the thought of being labelled anti-gay – half of our team are gay. 

‘We take any such claims incredibly seriously and we have investigated this incident in depth. In this case members of the team made a reluctant decision because they considered that the behaviour of the two people (rather than who the people were) might make others in the restaurant feel uncomfortable. 

‘This would have been the same whether it was two women, two men or a man and a woman. At Canteen, we pride ourselves on being a modern, equal opportunities, open and accessible business; we want everyone to feel welcome in our restaurants and we are sad and very sorry if Ms Cawson and her partner felt otherwise.’
