Queens woman, gay rights group sues Sizzler over alleged homophobic bias attack by manager

[NoGOPZone]

A major gay rights group says in a lawsuit against a Queens Sizzler steak house that a manager spewed homophobic epithets at a customer and shoved her to the ground.

Lambda Legal charges in the suit that the frightening encounter ensued after the manager accused Liza Friedlander of not paying for the buffet during brunch with friends at the Forest Hills Sizzler last September.

The suit, filed in Queens Supreme Court, says the manager shoved Friedlander in the chest and kicked her in the legs while calling her a "f...... dyke" and other epithets.

The suit contends the attack set off a frenzy of hateful chants from other patrons, spurring Friedlander's friends to frantically dial 911 out of fear she would be killed.

4. Is there a link to the suit?

Those are some ass opposite stories that I would think could be easily verified:

1. Both claim THEY were the one who called 911. Which one did? Both?
2. Her claim is that she did nothing and he beat the crap out of her and his claim is that he did nothing and she was swinging at him. Was their a police report? What did the hear from the witnesses?
