Social advocate Marc Antonie has shared a public statement describing an experience he says occurred during a recent visit to Frankie’s on the Avenue.
According to Antonie, a security officer approached him and another individual while they were at the establishment and warned them about interacting, despite what he described as appropriate behaviour.
Antonie said he believes the interaction was linked to their perceived sexual orientation. In his statement, he called for the restaurant to address the matter, issue a public response, and outline steps to help prevent similar concerns in the future.
The statement has generated discussion online, with supporters expressing solidarity while others have called for more information before drawing conclusions.
At the time of publication, Frankie’s on the Avenue had not publicly responded to the allegations. The claims reflect Marc Antonie’s account of the incident, and the restaurant’s perspective was not available at the time this article was prepared.
