Virginia Restaurant Refuses To Serve Hate Group

December 6, 2022 Christianists, Hate Groups

The Washington Post reports:

A restaurant in Richmond last week canceled a reservation for a private event being held by a conservative Christian organization, citing the group’s opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion rights.

“We have always refused service to anyone for making our staff uncomfortable or unsafe and this was the driving force behind our decision,” read an Instagram post from Metzger Bar and Butchery, a German-influenced restaurant in the Union Hill neighborhood whose kitchen is helmed by co-owner Brittanny Anderson, a veteran of TV cooking shows including “Top Chef” and “Chopped.”

The group, the Family Foundation, was set to host a dessert reception for supporters on Nov. 30, the group’s president, Victoria Cobb, wrote in a blog post describing the incident. About an hour and a half before it was slated to start, one of the restaurant’s owners called to cancel it, she wrote.

Cobb appeared on JMG multiple times in 2014 during Virginia’s battle over same-sex marriage.

In May 2014, she hosted a rally outside the state capitol where she was joined by Brian Brown and Josh Duggar in a public prayer for Jesus to stop “evil gay marriage.”
