A bald man, watching Raymond Carter and Donald Grainger from across the diner, had been keeping his eyes on the couple the entire time they were there.

“You fa***ts need to go somewhere else,” the bald man said. “I’m tired of your gay agenda.”

“The only agenda I have,” responded Grainger, “is enjoying a great brunch before noon.”

“Don’t forget the copious amounts of Hollandaise Sauce,” interrupted Carter. “It’s the best sauce ever.”

“Buck,” said the manager. “Leave now before I call the police.”

Buck Samuels, radically homophobic on numerous levels, had been harassing gay couples for weeks. Samuels is not liked.
