Eatery Fires Manager Who Objected to Actor Drew Droege's Gay Kiss
The Los Angeles restaurant manager who admonished gay actor Drew Droege and his male date for showing affection in public has been fired.Droege and his date were at the El Compadre restaurant in the Echo Park neighborhood Monday evening and had exchanged a few kisses when the manager told them it was a family establishment and such behavior wasn’t allowed. Droege posted about the incident on social media, and the restaurant’s parent company issued an apology on Instagram, said it welcomed the LGBTQ+ community, and promised to investigate the matter.The company deleted that post, but Wednesday afternoon it put up another saying the manager had been fired.
