After Darwell's Happiness Cafe in Long Beach, Mississippi, announced a discount for straight couples only, local businesses quickly rallied to support the LGBTQ+ community. Darwell and Nettie Mechelle Yeager, owners of the cafe, faced backlash after their video deemed offensive was shared on social media. In response, other local establishments, such as Trax Bar and Grill, condemned their actions and announced community support events, highlighting the unity within the community against discrimination and promoting inclusivity.
Darwell said in the video: "If you're a couple - husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, guy and girl couple...We'll give you something for free."
Nettie later wrote a statement: "I'm not perfect and I get my feelings hurt too... But I'm human too. I'm truly sorry if you got offended."
