Gay Waiter Gets Tip From Trump Supporters With Anti-Gay Slur Written On It
A waiter in Salt Lake City who was serving a table of Trump supporters was asked for a pen after the group of three paid their bill. He was surprised to see that they had written an anti-gay slur on the $5 tip they left behind.
As ‘LGBTQ Nation’ reports, the men had written: “Get out of America F*g”.
“I got this tip today while serving an older couple and their middle-aged son. They were all wearing Trump 2020 hats,” Bindrup wrote in a Facebook post with photos of the bill.
“I picked it up and was immediately like, ‘Oh, this is written on my tip,’” Bindrup said. “It’s shocking. It’s not okay.”
“And yes, not all Trump supporters are this way. But that argument also doesn’t matter right now,” he posted with the photos. “Today I experienced targeted hate. Hate that I often see in the Trump constituency. And it’s a reality that needs to be faced.”
“I can’t imagine hating someone enough to go out of my way to write a slur on the tip I’m going to give them. They asked me for the pen, by the way. Guess I shouldn’t have walked away after giving it to them.”
“I can’t tell you what causes hate. I can’t tell you what these customers were or weren’t thinking,” he continued.
“I like to think that generally it is ignorance that causes hate. And what I can tell you is that like-minded people tend to seek each other out. For some reason many of these individuals have found each other in the Trump electorate. And even if you’re against hate, and you truly want great things for America, if you support Donald Trump for President then you have also connected yourself to all his other supporters. This is true whether you accept it or not.”
