The head of a conservative Christian group whose reservation was cancelled at the last minute by a Virginia restaurant, citing their views on abortion and LGBTQ issues, has accused the owners of ‘religious discrimination.’
Virginia Cobb’s group, Family Foundation of Virginia, intended to dine on November 30 at Metzger Bar and Butchery in Richmond, Virginia – a German-themed restaurant co-owned by TV chef Brittanny Anderson of Top Chef and Chopped.
Yet 90 minutes before their reservation, a staff member called someone on Cobb’s team to say they were no longer welcome – forcing them to scramble to find an alternative venue for the 15-20 people to gather.

How come when a baker won’t make a gay cake or a web designer won’t make a gay website, they wind up in the “legal system”?
Now, as gun owning pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian, I have no problem with people discriminating. Folks do it all the time. It’s “heuristics” aka “rule of thumb”.
I do have a problem when the Gooferment gets involved. Hence some discrimination it politically incorrect and gets punished. Other peolitically correct discrimination goes under the radar.
Perhaps, “We, The Sheeple” might want to use the “invisible hand” of the marketplace to weigh in on the decision.
Wasn’t this a “breach of contract”?
