Oklahoma Restaurant That Won’t Serve ‘F*ggots’ Gets Internet Push As ‘Best Gay Bar’

The owner of an Oklahoma restaurant who declared last week that he won’t serve “freaks,” “f*ggots,” the disabled, or people on welfare now finds himself the victim of an online campaign to brand his establishment the “Best Gay Club” in Oklahoma City.

Gary James of Gary’s Chicaros restaurant told KFOR last week that “I really don’t want gays around. Any man that would compromise his own body would compromise anything.”

The “gays” have responded on Yelp and Facebook by declaring James’s establishment the “est place for hot man sex!”

Another reviewer notes that “Gary does’t serve tube steak. He asks for yours when you walk in the door. But don’t ask to use his backdoor, he saves that for minorities.”

The restaurant’s official t-shirt proudly threatens violence against minorities.

it is a hoax before the gay person even got seated. But I foresee some interesting "citizen actions" in the coming weeks for this business owner/jackass.

that the internet is forever, and some unsuspecting gay soul may one day walk into this establishment of hate. What an awful thing to happen. I hope it never does. With the way it sounds, it could get real ugly.

Go read the reviews--it's blazingly obvious that they are viciously snarking at a bigot. They're both OTT and hilarious.

...go look at their Yelp page...

Right now (4:23 PST), it's loaded with gay-themed party pix.

Hilarious!

EDIT 5:13 PST: Yelp took down the photos.

Let us in on the secret, so we can all tell.
Maybe it's a mirror.

If I were gay I would go in there with my boyfriend, acting as straight as possible. Order the most expensive meal he has on the menu, then after we ate, I'd just give my boyfriend a great big kiss. At that point we'd get kicked out with a free meal in our bellies.

It's an hour and a half from OKC. Also his patrons don't give a darn what the internet says. I'm sure his restaurant is having record patronage to show support.
