The “desexed” remark is puzzling, too.

I could be wrong, but didn’t Reese Witherspoon have a gay dog in one of her movies, that little chihuahua that she was dressing in frilly outfits.

The idea of caring whether a dog is gay — to the extent that it should be barred from a restaurant where straight dogs are presumably admitted — is so bizarre and hilarious that I can’t bring myself to feel offended by it, even though I kind of want to.

I mean, jeez, you don’t want the little guy “burying his bone” inside of the restaurant, if you know what I mean, and I think you do, heh heh.

How pathetic to be so uptight about gays that they actually care how dogs get it on.

I’m just curious. Does anyone know that this woman’s breasts have to do with the gay dog?

On second thought…I withdraw the question.

Truly someone needed a wack-upside-the-head with a canoe paddle!

I guess they think we’re so obnoxious that we even have to announce our dogs’ sexual orientation. :P

I suspect that like most restauraunts in the “English”-speaking world (I know; with Aussies, that designation is a stretch), they probably wouldn’t allow a straight dog either. Just guide dogs — if they had understood that it was a guide dog they wanted to bring in the first place. That is, assuming they meant what they said when they posted the sign on the door indicating that guide dogs were welcome.

oh, i see. so it would sound like “GAI-dog” when spoken quickly, in an aussie accent. The word “Gay” would sound more like how we say “guy,” and the “d” in “guide” would get suppressed by the “d” in “dog.”

Still, why the hell wouldn’t they allow a dog in just because he is a gay dog? who the hell cares? if the dog is fixed there’s no issue.

I had to say “gay” and “guide” with an attempted Australian accent before I could figure out how the confusion came about.
