HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Many were surprised at the recent announcement that Barry Manilow married his longtime manager Garry Kief  in a private ceremony at the singer’s Palm Springs, California home last year. But then again, many more were not.

But the bigger and more shocking news in Hollywood is that actors Martin Sheen and Sam Waterson have come out gay and are planning to marry each other.

Actresses Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have both confirmed the news.

It turns out, Fonda and Tomlin were referring to a Netflix show about two wives, Grace and Frankie, who bond after their husbands (Sheen and Waterston) leave the women for each other.

So, stop the rumor mill.

STRAIGHT COUPLE DENIED WEDDING SERVICES BY INDIANA GAY CAKE AND FLOWER BUSINESS

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles) – A heterosexual Indiana couple chose to get married on Friday, April 3. Little did they know that the date they chose would fall on Good Friday this year.

It’s a time when the Christian church is in mourning. It is the day that Jesus Christ died on the Cross. It is also a time when church altars are stripped bare, except for a crucifix draped in purple-colored fabric.

The bride and groom, the future Mr. and Mrs.  Hoosier, chose bright red as the theme color for their entourage and ceremony. The story gets even weirder.

Just days after Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed legislation giving local businesses the license to deny services to gay men and women if it is in keeping with their religious belief, the Hoosiers lost their wedding florist and cake maker, and it is too late to find a replacement.

Apparently, the Indy Cakes and Flowers is owned and managed by a gay couple. In protest of the new anti-gay law, the couple decided to refuse services to the Hoosiers.

“It is our religious belief that it is morally wrong to treat gay men and women differently as one would treat heterosexuals,” the gay couple said, “so it is our right under the new law to deny services to the Hoosiers. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but they can go complain to the governor’s office.

The business owners added that with same-sex marriage now legal in many states, they have enough business to keep them going.

CASTRO RESTAURANT OWNERS HIRING ASIAN CONSULTANTS TO COME UP WITH A NEW NAME

1 Comment

IMG_5489San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s called Fork Café, a restaurant smack in the middle of San Francisco’s gay Castro Street. It has not been in business for long, but because it wasn’t doing very well, its new owners have decided to switch it to an Asian noodle place, serving a variety of noodle dishes from countries like Vietnam, China and the Philippines.  It also plans to adopt a new name to reflect its menu offering.

Not too long ago, a new Mexican restaurant in the Castro was bullied into changing its name from ‘Bandidos’ to ‘Hecho’ because a small group of politically-correct Castro residents protested, saying that the original name (which is Spanish for outlaw or criminal) was offensive to the Mexican American community.

The Fork Café owners are not taking any chances. They are hiring for consultant positions to help them come up with a new name that will not be racist, offensive, discriminatory or insensitive to the Asian American community. The owners said they are an equal-opportunity employer and are encouraging as many people to apply. Applicants don’t have to be gay or lesbian but they must be Chinese, Vietnamese or Filipino.

“Initially we were thinking of the name ‘Chopsticks,’ ‘Slurp,’ or ‘Pancit,’ but we were told these names could be offensive to Asians. That’s why we decided to enlist the expertise of community consultants,” they said.
