This is the 21st century?

Un-freakin'-believable is a story from Australia about a blind restaurant customer and his guide dog who were refused entrance to the establishment.

Read the story
from the London Daily Mail.

In 2009, Ian Jolly, 57, was trying to enter an Adelaide restaurant and the staff thought he said he had a "gay dog" instead of a "guide dog."

So the enlightened staff refused to allow either Jolly or his dog into the restaurant.

The information came out in a statement to South Australia's Equal Opportunity Tribunal that recently made a ruling in the case.

Jolly will receive a written apology and the Australian equivalent of US$1,000.

Feel free make your own comments. I won't make mine here.
