Christian Dingus, 28, was with his partner when, he says, employees told the couple not to kiss inside, and the argument escalated outside.
A gay man accused a group of Washington, D.C., Shake Shack employees of beating him after he kissed his boyfriend inside the location while waiting for their order.
Christian Dingus, 28, was with his partner and a group of friends at a Dupont Circle location Saturday night when the incident occurred, he told NBC News. They had put in their order and were hanging around waiting for their food.
“And while we were back there — kind of briefly — we began to kiss,” Dingus said. “And at that point, a worker came out to us and said that, you know, you can’t be doing that here, can’t do that type of stuff here.”
The couple separated, Dingus said, but his partner got upset at the employee and insisted the men had done nothing wrong. Dingus’ partner was then allegedly escorted out of the restaurant, where a heated verbal argument occurred.
Then the way they were kissing is irrelevant.
I disagree because something had to start the whole entire ordeal. It wasn’t that he saw somebody kissing and walked over and assaulted him. It built up to it so you have really no idea what happened between the two of them. What was said what insults were made etc etc.
What’s irrelevant is that there’s no excuse to start beating up on people except in self-defense. So you got part of it right.
I guarantee nothing would have been said to begin with if it were a man kissing a woman the same way.
…dunno where you live, but if I started going with the tongue with my girl I would 100% get absolutely kicked out of any food place. It’s not a place for that high public display of affection.
Not saying tho they did that. Just pointing out you’re flat out wrong.
