The subject title says it all.
PETERSBURG - A Date Night event at the Creation Museum in Petersburg was disrupted when a same-sex couple was denied entry.
While accounts differ, what is clear is that a man who planned to enter the Feb. 11 event with a male friend was told the two would not be allowed to enter. Additionally, they did not receive a refund of the $71.90 cost for the two tickets they had purchased online.
"On the website, there was no mention of sexual orientation," said Jonathan Meador, who was involved in the situation.
Mark Looy, chief communications officer for the Creation Museum, said it was clear from the promotional material that the event was for heterosexual couples only.
Continues in the article.
Can't you just feel the christian love.

Anybody can file a lawsuit. But, if you remember the old rule, "There's no such thing as bad publicity", a lawsuit may be exactly what they're hoping for.

Taking a date to a museum? That's teh ghey in the first place. They should've expected it.

Wouldn't it be great if Jesus turned up, hugging his "beloved disciple" with his twelve male "followers" ?

"Creation museum rejects same sex couple"
Why would a gay couple become an exhibit in a museum anyway?

So how did the museum
know they were a gay couple and not just a couple of mates?
They must have made it fucking obvious - probably dressed in leather chaps, sporting huge moustaches and with their dicks hanging out.

One guy said at the entrance: "Before we enter, we need to wait for my partner who is parking the car, because we have his ticket."

Hmmm... Still seems a little staged to me. And it will give the creotards publicity. Stupid.

Even if it was staged, so what? The Scopes Trial happened because of a staged action.
