At the celebration of the passing of The Respect for Marriage Act, Biden implied in a speech that Americans being kicked out of restaurants for being gay is a normal occurrence in 2022. His comments have led to questions and criticism on social media.
Twitter Reacts
The Respect for Marriage Act passed both chambers of Congress with bipartisan support. At the event, Biden made the comment, “When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, this is still wrong.” He quickly drew criticism from Twitter users, who claim that people are not, in fact, kicked out of restaurants for being gay.
Jesse Kelly seemed to call Biden a communist in his tweet, saying that “most of them” live in a world of make-believe.
Biden saying gay people are getting thrown out of restaurants proves a point I’ve made many times:
You cannot negotiate or reason with the communist because the simple truth is most of them live entirely in a world of make believe. You can’t leave reality to work with someone.

He added that the only people he believes are being kicked out of restaurants are Christians and unvaccinated individuals.
PRO TIP: People in America aren’t getting thrown out of restaurants for being gay. But in just the last couple years, they HAVE been thrown out for being Christian. And they have been thrown out for being unvaccinated. https://t.co/nmhHgHKhgK

Gerry Callahan thinks Biden should be more focused on our Southern border than “made-up gay people.”
Seriously, Joe Biden thinks made-up gay people getting thrown out of pretend restaurants is a bigger problem than a thousand illegal aliens crossing the Southern border in one day.

Adam Ford implies that if you believe Biden’s claims about gay people being thrown out of restaurants, you are a “brainwashed ideologue.”
Why does Joe Biden want you to believe that gay people are being tossed out of restaurants in America?
Because he thinks you’re an idiot and he trusts you’re a brainwashed ideologue. https://t.co/uh0oOXUCfl

Dana Loesch reinforced the notion that while gay people aren’t being thrown out of restaurants, there are others that have been.
I’ve never seen a gay person thrown out of a restaurant but I have seen progressives run conservatives out of restaurants. Just ask @SarahHuckabee . https://t.co/U81Vw6mhhy
