Oliver Bromley, who has Neurofibromatosis Type 1, was asked to leave a London restaurant because staff claimed he was 'scaring the customers'. This incident highlights a troubling attitude towards individuals with visible differences.
Bromley expressed how upsetting the experience was, stating, 'It's a horrible thing to happen. I took it very personally on the day.' His story shines a light on public perception and discrimination.
After facing rejection at the restaurant, Bromley promptly raised awareness about his condition, emphasizing he didn't want to name the establishment for fear of 'retribution', but felt compelled to share his experience.
Though he filed a formal complaint, Bromley received no response and reported the event to the police. They indicated it was considered a hate crime, but faced challenges in taking further action.
