Restaurant denies Christian group service over its anti-abortion and LGBTQ stances

The faith-based group denied service at a Richmond, Virginia, restaurant is speaking out against what it called a "bigoted" decision by the eatery to cancel its reservation.
Metzger Bar and Butchery recently refused to host a private event for The Family Foundation, a conservative Christian organization, over its position on same-sex marriage and abortion rights. Family Foundation President Victoria Cobb told CBS MoneyWatch that the restaurant's decision not to serve the group based on its religious and political views was "alarming and disgraceful."
"It's not a good business model to have the feeling like people are making an assessment of you of whether you're worthy to eat at their restaurant," Cobb told CBS MoneyWatch. "It's uncomfortable for people to think that's how we're going to function in society."
