Party at Carraba's Refuses to Tip Because of Server's Homosexuality

Interesting enough, they didn't have a problem with a homosexual person serving them their food and drinks ... they just didn't feel it was 'right' to pay the server for the service.

Personally, I believe their attitude is an 'affront to God' (to use their works).

A lot of talk about "GOD's love", so why does this sound like something with so much hate in it?

My experience with "Christians" in large groups is they don't tip. They like to leave notes and religious pamphlets instead. I'm sick of religious people blaming gays or women or some other group for their grotesquely bad behavior.
