Arkansas restaurant owner shuts down LGBT fundraiser, compares gays to KKK
The owner of an Arkansas restaurant shut down an LGBT group’s fundraiser scheduled to take place at his establishment, comparing them to the Ku Klux Klan.Â
The River Valley Equality Center had a reservation to hold a fundraiser at Sisters Gourmet Bistro, but the owner, Richard Hodo, canceled the event when he realized they were an LGBT center. No laws protect LGBT people from discrimination in Arkansas, so there’s not much anybody can do:
“I told them that I do not support their cause,” Sisters owner Richard Hodo told 40/29. “That if they want to do that, that’s their business. I do not care, but I don’t support their lifestyle and their cause.”
“What I told the lady on the phone,” said Hodo, “Look, I said, if the KKK came here and wanted to hold a fundraiser rally and all that, I wouldn’t allow that either.”
No no no no no no. No no no no no no no no no no no no.Â
