Why do so many gays eat at applebees
Last week Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar released a commercial to promote their new To Go Window, set to the tune of Melissa Etheridge’s 1993 super smash hit, “Come to My Window.” Did you know at the Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar’s To Go Window you can order: pasta, wings, quesadillas, celery sticks, mozzarella sticks, nachos, salad, a steak, more pasta, and more wings? I learned that from the commercial. Did you also know that “Come to My Window” was the first single from Melissa Etheridge’s Yes I Am album (as in Yes I Am Gay) which she dropped right after she came out as a lesbian and that the very gay lyrics were written about her gay girlfriend Julie Cypher who crawled through her window for the explicitly male lover purpose of scissoring? I did not learn that from the commercial; I already knew it in my brain and heart because “Come to My Window” is one of the most popular homosexual songs ever written.
Why then, Reader, did Applebees’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar straightwash the lesbian love story right out of the ad?!
Here is Samantha, let’s call her. Sam. She’s walking through
Finding Out Westbrook’s Chick-fil-A is Owned by Two Gay Men Made Me Pause
I learned this while looking into a fundraiser they are doing to assist No Bowl Vacant 2 Pet Meal Pantry.
I'll be straightforward. I have avoided Chick-fil-A because of the stories of the owner, Dan Cathy, having an anti-gay agenda. Ring it peer pressure, but being lgbtq+ AND in the public eye -- I feel a slight responsibility to do 'the right thing.' I figured, whether right or wrong, not eating at the fresh exciting Westbrook Chick-fil-A was doing my tiny part of not contributing to anything anti-LGBTQ+.
But then I found myself in a pickle! Chick-fil-A was raising money and supplies for No Bowl Empty 2 Pet Food Pantry out of Waterboro. I was asked if I could support share this news. I felt trapped. I love this organization and of course, would treasure to help, but by helping I would have to tell people to eat at Chick-fil-A in Westbrook! What the hell should I do? The particular fundraiser ended in February, but No Bowl Hollow 2 Pet Sustenance Pantry is always in need of your help.
That's when it was brought to my attention that the Westbrook CFA (I can't The food service industry is hard enough already. Lousy tippers, screaming children, that one Karen who always sends everything back. Imaging throwing harassment from your coworkers onto that mentally draining situation. American society is more or less willing to boycott Chick-fil-A due to its stance on queer people and its lobbying for anti-gay charities “in the name of the Lord.” I wonder if society would also turn a cold eye to Applebee’s knowing that it doesn’t have any protocol in place to protect its queer employees. Here are just two examples that recently made headlines. A Greater Tampa line roast joined Applebee’s in Protest 2019. Almost immediately, he was harassed with racist and homophobic comments due to being black and gay. When the line cook went to his boss, he was told to relax, ignore it and that the other employees were “just joking.” However, how would the manager explain away the frequent use of the n-word and employees wearing Confederate Flags on the line cooks shifts? When the line cook went above management and contacted Applebee’s parent company, NRP LLC, he discovered that not only did they have no In a time where it seems you obtain less for your wealth, Applebee's is looking to reverse course by offering an all-you-can-eat option at all of their locations. Walk into Applebee's feeling love a boss, and as you wait to be seated, just imagine the endless riblets, chicken tenders, and/or crunchy fried shrimp (and endless french fries) that you are about to indulge in. It won't interruption the bank, either: The Takeout is reporting the revival of the chain's coveted all-you-can-eat option for $15.99 for your choice of an endless entree and fries. But wait, there's more! You can mix and match what you get — you can have all three entrees. If you are done smashing riblets, you can quickly move onto some fried shrimp then slide into chicken tender world. Nobody has taken the 'how long can I remain and how much can I eat' challenge, but surely it will get a thing on social media before long. Oh, and one more thing: If your mom or spouse says that there is nothing healthy about this offering and tries to make you change your mind about going to an Applebee's to t On the Wednesday morning edition of 105.3 The Fan's Modern School, I got to do my favorite type of radio: personal, diverse, sensitive, uncomfortable, interactive and most of all, honest- all because of Michael Sam Sr. The father of recently out-of-the closet draft prospect Michael Sam gave the NY Times his reaction to the news of his son coming out: "Michael Sam Sr. was at a Denny's near his home outside Dallas to celebrate his birthday when his son sent him a text letter. Dad, I'm lgbtq+, he wrote. The party stopped frosty. "I couldn't devour no more, so I went to Applebees to own drinks," Sam Sr. said. "I don't want my grandkids raised in that kind of environment. "I'm old school," he added. "I'm a man-and-a-woman type of guy." As evidence, he pointed out that he had taken an older son to Mexico to miss his virginity. On Sunday night, just after Michael Sam announced his intention to make sports history, his father was still struggling with the news. Sam Sr. loves his son, and he said he hoped his son made it to the NFL. "As a black male, we have so many hurdles to cross," he said. "This is just one he has to cross." But he expressed discomfort at the very idea of a gay NFL participate
