The owners, Darwell and Nettie Mechelle Yeager, claimed their offer was aimed at 'real' couples that can produce children, explicitly excluding LGBTQ+ individuals. After an uproar online, Nettie apologized, though Darwell defended the discount as a special promotion. The backlash has led to a response from other local restaurants, such as Trax Bar and Grill, which are now championing inclusivity with events like 'Unity in the Community' featuring local drag performances.
