About this sermon
A Virginia restaurant canceled the dinner reservation of a local faith based organization, claiming the group's religious beliefs made their staff feel unsafe. Metzger Bar and Butchery in Richmond canceled the Family Foundation of Virginia's 20 person reservation, just an hour before the group's holiday party. The restaurant's owners say the Family Foundation limits the rights of women as well as the same-sex community. President of the Family Foundation of Virginia, Victoria Cobb, joins to tell us a little about the Family Foundation and why she thinks the owners of Metzger perceived the group as a threat. Cobb shares at what point Metzger informed them of the cancellation and whether they gave an explanation. Metzger says the Family Foundation seeks to deprive women and LGTBQ persons of basic human rights. A part of their statement reads, "We have always refused service to anyone for making our staff uncomfortable or unsafe and this was the driving force behind our decision." Cobb discusses her reaction and whether the organization has ever made people feel unsafe. Cobb explains whether they are planning on lawyering up and where she sees this going.
