I seem to recall a guy who brought a complaint against a gay bar because 
they refused to hire him as a waiter.  The reasoning was actually quite 
comical - but in any event, the owner turned out to be a straight, white, 
female.  Needless to say the complaint didn't fly - the reason they 
rejected him was he was too limp wristed and couldn't carry a tray full 
and would have to carry drinks two and three at a time.

The simple ruling was - no discrimination existed, it was merely that he 
couldn't perform the duties as laid out in the job description.

The bar, by the way, had two straight male waiters, among their staff, 
one of whom's wife was one of the bartenders.  One of the straight 
waiters was a white male, the other was Latin American.  They were both 
interviewed when this story hit the media, and when asked why straight 
males would want to be waiters in a gay establishment, the answer was the 
same for both, and quite predicatble......gays are nice people to wait 
on...and they're great tippers.  The white fellow even went on to say 
that the patrons gave him great incentive to continue with his work out 
routines and visits to the gym to keep himself in shape.

Now, while this story is certainly not the norm, it's a shred of hope 
that we can all get along, though there is limited proof of that theory.
