The Summerhouse DOES discrimiate against gay people; at least they did the time my friend and I went in there to sit down to eat. That was in 1987 or 88. The staff would not come near our table; did not give us menus or anything! I think my partner and I will pay them a little social call the next time we go to Rehobeth and if they give us any crap we will take action to press a lawsuit!

What a shame for the Summerhouse. We’ve (my partner and me) have been going there for years and we have never been treated less than the utmost respect and pleasantly. Of course, we act as adults should behave when out in public and with respect for ourselves and the rest of the patrons. I feel that if this treatment was in fact displayed, the (BOYS), deserved it. I certainly hope the owners and staff fight this ruling in court. You do not have a successful business if the gay patrons are treated this way. There are many, many gay people in Rehoboth Beach that dine at the Summerhouse. What a shame. All of this for $5000. GET REAL!

I would like to know what kind of behavior I am guilty of?!? I was pushed twice in that bar by the bouncer, told to go down the street to the gay bar (which I did after leaving the ONE drink I ordered there half drank), and upon my return when I wanted to tell the manager about this bouncer I was asaulted by that bouncer. I even asked the summerhouse twice for video of that night that would show what happened, but amazingly the video of the night was lost by them. SO if you witnessed anything from that night please speak up, but somehow I doubt you were there….

As a gay man who frequents many gay and straight establishments this is the first time this sort of thing has happened to me. There was no “carrying on”.

This is no joke, all of this actually happened on a night when I had almost nothing to drink.

This is not the only time this has happened, just the only time something has been done about it.

This matter is absurd and yes joke like. These guys need to understand that you need to uphold civilized behavior whilst in a public place, regardless of it being or not being a gay establishment. Just because the Summer House is Not a gay establishment it does not mean they are anti gay and or do any gay bashing. The drunken behavior of this guy was the cause of this altercation.
My friends and I are proud of who we are and we frequent the Summer House very often and not once have we ever been treated anything but courteously.
Getting overly drunk in public does not give rights to anybody to fling accusations.
When next in Rehoboth Beach, go to the Summer House and you will see for yourselves what a nice friendly family restaurant the Summer House is!
