Houston Restaurant Apologizes To Customers Who Complained "Faggot" Waiter Was Too Gay

A waiter in Texas says his manager apologized to customers who called him a “faggot” and complained that his effeminacy ruined their meal.

Blake Butler, 19, picked up a receipt from one of his customers at a Kelley’s Country Cookin’ in Houston last Wednesday, and saw they had written “Don’t want to listen to a faggot through my whole meal."

“Instead of having my back and be like, you know, 'That’s my employee. I can’t have you talking about my employees like that.’ She was, like, ‘Oh. It’s okay. I’m sorry,’”  Butler told ABC Channel 13.

Country Cookin's owner said the situation put the manager in a tough position, but that if he had been there himself he would have "had words" with the customer.

The restaurant maintains Butler quit after the incident, though he insists he was fired. He also revealed he's come out to his family as a result of the story.

“I recently came out to my parents today because I didn’t want them to find out on the news,"  he said. "I just finally said it.”
