AP NEW YORK: A bouncer at a popular restaurant in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village neighborhood ejected a lesbian customer from the women’s bathroom after last …
Oh hell no. It turns out this took place at Caliente Cab Co., a decent restaurant in Manhattan. I’ve been there before, and every time I drive to New York, Caliente is my landmark for turning onto the street that gets me out of the city.
Apparently the woman looks rather masculine, but isn’t transgender. Usually, when she says “I’m female,” people say “oh I’m sorry!” But this time, the bouncer escorted her back to her table, and forced her party to pay their check and leave the restaurant.
People, this was in Greenwich Village, the home of Stonewall. This was the same day as the Pride parade. I hope this bouncer gets fired, and if not I will not be returning to Caliente. If you need good margaritas and tasty food in Greenwich Village, allow me to recommend Tortilla Flats instead.
