ACLU is coming for Chico's Tacos


ACLU in Texas are coming for Chico’s Tacos and the El Paso police. In fact, they are demand full inquiry into the crazy incident with the dumbass cop and the kiss that destroyed Texas.

Here's what ACLU had to say
"We’re extremely concerned that the actions of the restaurant employees and the El Paso police may have violated the law," said ACLU of Texas legal director Lisa Graybill. "The City of El Paso prohibits restaurants from refusing service to anyone based on their sexual orientation, and the police should have enforced that ordinance.”

The group of men was reportedly at Chico’s on June 29, when they were asked to leave by private security guards who saw two of the men kissing. According to news reports, the guards told the men that “faggot stuff” wasn’t allowed in the restaurant. Police were called to the scene by both parties, but instead of assisting the men, the responding officer reportedly threatened to cite them for “homosexual activity.” Police reportedly told the men that same-sex kissing was forbidden in public.

"It is absolutely shocking that an El Paso police officer would be so poorly trained on the law," said ACLU of Texas staff attorney Fleming Terrell. "No such prohibition exists under city, state or federal law, nor would the Constitution permit it."

Hopefully this will be and turning point for Texas' backwoods thinking. They do need a cultural make-over.

Someone Lay Hands on Chico's Tacos

Carlos Diaz de Leon and his friends was just was doing the usual; hanging out and visiting the local favorite, Chico's Tacos chain in Montwood, Tx.

When two of the guys kissed, the security guards got scared (or excited) and told Carlos and his friends to leave. Carlos called the cops in hopes to clear everything up, but the officer sided with the guards.

The cop cited a state law that forbids homosexual activity. However, that law (Section 21.06 of the Texas penal code) was overturned years ago. The responding officer did not know the law and pretty much misinformed Carlos.

After that mishap, Carlos and buddies filed a complaint with the police department’s internal affairs unit.

Meanwhile the LGBT community are protesting the Taco joint
