“In eight years of service we have rarely turned down anyone who wanted to dine with us.” This time, however, they did it, dal explains Mezger Bar and Butchery restaurant in the Union Hill Historic District of the American city of Richmond in Virginia. “Many of our staff are members of the LGBTQ+ community” and, therefore, “we refused the booking of a conservative Christian group”, accuses the restaurant on Instagram, “which does not recognize their rights in our state, against abortion, and which is by no means inclusive.” “We have always refused to serve anyone who has made our staff uncomfortable or at risk, this has always been the basis of our decisions. All people on our staff have rights and should be treated with dignity in a working environment sure,” says the restaurant.
