SYDNEY (AFP) - An Australian restaurant that refused a blind man entry because a waiter thought his seeing-eye dog was "gay" has been ordered to apologise and pay compensation.

Ian Jolly was told he could not take guide dog Nudge into Adelaide's Thai Spice last May because a member of staff objected, The Sunday Mail reported.

The restaurant's owners said a misunderstanding had arisen between Jolly's female companion and a waiter who understood the woman "to be saying she wanted to bring a gay dog into the restaurant".

"The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been desexed to become a gay dog," the owners said in a statement to South Australia's Equal Opportunity Tribunal.

The tribunal on Friday ordered the restaurant to pay Jolly 1,500 dollars (1,400 US) and offer him a written apology for discriminating against him on the grounds of disability.

The restaurant, which displays a "guide dogs welcome" sign, refused to comment to the newspaper and was unavailable to respond on Sunday.

Jolly told the Sunday Mail he was happy with the result.

"I just want to be like everybody else and be able to go out for dinner, to be left alone and just enjoy a meal," he said.

Even if the dog is gay, how is it hurting anyone else in the restaurant? It's not like the dog is going to pull down the pants of and assrape the first human male it sees in the place! That's just fucking stupid!

I guess the German Shepherd we had when I was a kid wouldn't be allowed in that restaurant, either. He REALLY WAS gay! :biggrin:

Something really needs to be done about this discrimination against gay dogs!

That's just wrong to deny a guide dog entry into a restaurant based solely on his sexual orientation! What is this world coming to when they won't allow gay dogs in restaurants? This is an outrage! :biggrin:

Being a Thai restaurant, maybe the establishment was merely used to serving dogs, as opposed to... uh...serving them? http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-confused-smileys-718.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/facebook-smileys.html)

Maybe the blind guy is a dog fukker and that is what they meant by gay..?

Perhaps FiFi the hostesses dog was dumped on by -Gay Dog- and started and slanderous rumor to discredit Gay dog from finding new love..you know like High School...I was young I needed the money they were supposed to be art photos...HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR ONE MISTAKE...??

What does Desexed mean, Nutered..?

If dog fukker had a female companion why should the dog be inside..?

I can understand a dog learning the street lights configuration and where to turn, but how does this enable dog to find the table, "not" near the kitchen with the best lighting and noone already sitting there?

Wierd story..?

Ah one of my very favorite lines. Joe G. where are you when we need you?

When the movie came out, I was laughing my head off, as it was obvious that Fred Willard was parodying Garagiola. I was dumbfounded when people didn't make the obvious connection. By the way, all of Willard's dialogue was completely improvised.

Buck Laughlin: Excuse me if this off the subject a little bit, but just take a guess at how much I can bench press. Come on, what do you think? Take a guess. 315 pounds, at the top of my game, maxing out at 500!

Now tell me, which one of these dogs would you want to have as your wide receiver on your football team?

Buck Laughlin: Tell me, do you know the difference between a rectal thermometer and a tongue depressor?
Nurse: Uh, no.
Buck Laughlin: Remind me never to come to you for a physical!

I went to one of those obedience places once... it was all going well until they spilled hot candle wax on my private parts.

Buck Laughlin: I don't think I could ever get used to being poked and prodded like that. I told my proctologist one time, "Why don't you take me out to dinner and a movie sometime?"
Trevor Beckwith: Yes, I remember you said that last year.

Trevor Beckwith: And now we have the toy, the Shih Tzu is coming, and here is, uh, Scott Donlan.
Buck Laughlin: Look at Scott! He is prancing along with the dog! Man, I tell you something, if you live in my neighborhood and you're dressed like that, you'd better be a hotel doorman.
