"Hello my name is Gaytard" Name tag teen forced to wear at Taco John's

115. I've insisted no such thing

and have since learned in this very thread that despite my feeling that this was a lot longer ago than last June that in fact that's when it was. I don't care what you or anyone else think about why I believe the kid's story isn't true, and you're free to decide that it must be because I have something against LGBT folks if that makes you feel better despite that not being the case at all. I just don't believe this kid's story based on the evidence known... all the reasons I gave in the original thread.

There are no witnesses that back him up. The one person that has said she believes his story didn't witness it and was also the one that put it out on the internet originally. To date, none of his co-workers, friends, his boyfriend nor any customer has said they witnessed this nor even that they believe his story. To me that's a big red flag and it should be to anyone else not looking at the story purely through a LGBT lens. Since I'm very pro LGBT rights and social acceptance I would LIKE to believe that his story is true yet I still don't.

In looking at ANY story I leave any pro or anti this or that at the door, and it's a shame that in so many many different cases on just about anything that others don't. And I'm also big enough to say so when something I believed turned out to not be true as I have done in this very thread concerning the time that the original story came out. Though I still FEEL that it was a hell of a lot longer ago than just last June evidence others presented showed me that in fact I was wrong about that, and I ASKED for that evidence because I actually wanted to know if my memory of when it occurred was accurate. And should anything arise that should change my mind about what I believe about his story being true or not I'll say so, but so far that hasn't happened.

It's likely that no one will ever know whether or not he was telling the truth though the ACLU will get him a settlement anyway in which the store admits no wrongdoing for the simple reason that it's cheaper than taking it to court as is what happens in most cases whether they're true or not.
