Yes, several times. Here's one from just a week ago.

They get around it by essentially claiming it is a gendered position. Kind of like Disneyland can hire only women to play Cinderella. Essentially the "theming" requires that the servers be women.

The EEOC filed suit against them back in the mid-90s and appaerntly didn't come out on top. I don't believe any later privately filed suits have had any success.

Soooo... Someone could open a restaurant with only hunky male waiters using the same arguments?!?! :D

Are there any natural performers left?

Well, there is "Dick's Last Resort" which is sort of Penis themed

If the tips are good, why not?

Kevy - WTF - sounds like some place you go for a quicky operation where you come out with less than you went in with...but at least the glasses would be in little sanity wrappers.

I'm not sure if that was asked in jest, but here's my response in case it was serious.

Many, if not most, straight men would rather die than be thought of as gay. And in their minds, "allowing" a guy to hit on them, be ogled by, or in any way be the object of another man's attentions automatically means they are gay themselves.

Is this ridiculous? Of course! But it's a reality that us gay guys have to deal with quite regularly.
