UPDATE: Chuck Pfoutz published a thorough and comprehensive timeline of events here.
Yelling racial slurs at an entire bar is something I consider unacceptable. Nearly all queer bar owners in St. Louis agreed, which is one reason Nate Stickel and Patrick Manary are banned from nearly all of our establishments.
But tribal attitudes run deep, and former bar owner Jim Weckmann has rallied quite the rogues’ gallery against me for my stance. All carrying on and caterwauling like a bunch of idiots.
So be it.
Let him and his ilk howl until they’re hoarse. Jolene Gosha, Sandra Gay, Dean Russell Chavez, all of them. Let them howl.
