Minister denied entry over service dog at Crazy Girl Saloon speaks out
 |
Bryan Miller, who lives with post-traumatic stress and general anxiety disorders, said he showed up to Crazy Girl Saloon off FM 1960 late Sunday to preach with members of Saved Savage Ministries, a traveling congregation of veterans and Christians based in the Houston area. Miller entered the bar with his service dog Jolene, a black Labrador who is always at his side and trained to help him through everyday life. "I saw the sign on the door that said no fighting, no weapons, no pets," Miller said in a phone call Monday. He walked up to the bartender to confirm that Jolene was a trained service animal and not simply a pet. "[The employee] said 'I'll have to call the owner, he's got a really strict policy.' I said 'OK.' I went to the bathroom and came back, and she said 'yeah, [the owner] said no, she can't be in here. She can't even be on the property.'" "I've never had anybody turn me away," Miller said. "In fact, we went to Hooter's to eat right before we went to Crazy Girl Saloon, and the entire staff was loving on her … I was really shocked at their reply. I won't take it any further. I just won't go back there." Full story by Chron: https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/crazy-girl-saloon-discrimination-service-animal-16961011.php submitted by /u/Dani_Mayonnaise |
