Latest update on Mellow Mushroom and the Indy

Casey, the owner of the Triangle Mellow Mushrooms, has just posted in the comments over at Kevin's place the following.

I am Casey, the owner of MMs in the area. I absolutely regret the decision to remove the Indy from the restaurants. On Monday I was in contact with the Indy to bring it back to our stores. They want to bring it back as well and it will be there anyday.

The last thing we intended to do was discriminate against anyone. We always have and always will have employees that are gay as well as friends that are gay. Our actions as to how we treat them will hopefully speak louder than removing a newspaper. I will be more than happy to put you in touch with our staff members who are part of the gay community. Some who have been with us for years. They will certainly tell anyone how we treat everyone.


I sincerely apologize to anyone that was offended my our decision. Hopefully we will have a chance to make it up to you.

Casey

Good for you. Welcome back to Durham.

Now, if we can get you to understand that we're all part of our own, different and uniquely constructed families, we'll have made some real headway.
