This week, they turned away a blind person with their service dog.
The manager was cavalier about it. They were adamant that there was some sort of documentation required.
There isn’t.
Thankfully, a friend with them recorded a video of the ordeal. You can catch a transcript here.
Help me tell Stonewall Inn that they need to get their ish together.
Update: Them put up a story about this as well.
Final update: As of June 9th, Stonewall finally provided a meaningful statement to yours truly. They’ve apologized and will be offering an ADA training for bars and clubs in the area. They are going to have the disability rights lawyer they’re working with go over a variety of accessibility issues with them. They’re also going to make donations via their charity to a disability org. They didn’t tell me what, if anything, would go on with manager Mike… which I’m still not pleased about… I’m still going to be keeping an eye on them. This isn’t the first story of discrimination, and I doubt it’ll be the last.
That’s awful – were there any repercussions? I’ve shared it. Lowen @ livingpositivelywithdisability.com
