The owner of a Subway shop in Angers, France is under
fire for only offering aValentine's Day
special to heterosexual couples.
Citing the current status of gay marriage in France, the franchise owner defended his actions and invoked
his freedom of expression in a note beneath the sandwich deal.
"Discrimination: No, the marriage for
all law has advanced, but has yet to be ratified by the Senate. Until then,
I'll use my freedom of expression."
According to French newspaper the
Liberation, Subway's corporate
offices intervened after
photos of the offer were widely circulated on social media, and the restaurant
was swiftly closed Friday. In a statement released the same day, Subway France
apologized and noted that franchise locations are managed independently. (huffingtonpost.com, 16-2-2013)
