"I would like to apologize to anyone who was offended by the sign at Sliders. I'M SORRY.

I put it up because I thought it was funny.  I realize now I was stupid. I am not a bigot though.  I have family members, friends, employees, and guests who are gay and the sign had nothing to do with sexual preference.

It was put up as a joke because we would love to be as busy as Chick-fil-A. I take full responsibility for putting the sign up. Sometimes your intentions (boycott Chick-fil-A) backfire.  I guess I found out the hard way.

To those I have offended, please forgive me for I know not what I do.

If you decide to not return to Sliders it’s my fault and I am the one  paying

the price.  I ask for your forgiveness and I want everyone to know I am

truly sorry."
