Christian Dingus, 28, was with his partner when, he says, employees told the couple not to kiss inside, and the argument escalated outside.

A gay man accused a group of Washington, D.C., Shake Shack employees of beating him after he kissed his boyfriend inside the location while waiting for their order.

Christian Dingus, 28, was with his partner and a group of friends at a Dupont Circle location Saturday night when the incident occurred, he told NBC News. They had put in their order and were hanging around waiting for their food.

“And while we were back there — kind of briefly — we began to kiss,” Dingus said. “And at that point, a worker came out to us and said that, you know, you can’t be doing that here, can’t do that type of stuff here.”

The couple separated, Dingus said, but his partner got upset at the employee and insisted the men had done nothing wrong. Dingus’ partner was then allegedly escorted out of the restaurant, where a heated verbal argument occurred.

    Really? Because I think it might be justifiable to ask a woman leave a restaurant if she is indecency exposed? Do you even know what an incel is? Pretty sure they would be on the opposite side of that argument.

      The fact that you even propose this stupid hypothetical verifies that you’re exactly the kind of sexist prick I expected.

        I was shifting the other guy’s hypothetical into a comparable situation. Jesus, automod flagged me for calling someone a weird o. How is this shit flying under the radar?

          We cannot take action on content that is not reported. I had to search through the context to find this one.

          no, you were creating a straw man in order to justify the bigotry and violence the victims faced

            Are you STILL trolling my posts. I’m responding to replies to me. You’re clearly camping on this thread (or my comment history) refreshing constantly in wait to post the same shit yet again. Get over it, dude.
