Indianapolis man was told to leave a local bar and restaurant. He was told to leave because of his large cross necklace.
That night out with friends
Jerry Bond was out with his minister and some friends at the Kilroy's Bar N' Grill last month when he said he was singled out by a bouncer who came up to him and asked him to remove his necklace or leave the restaurant.
"The bouncer came back over, really bad attitude, [and says] 'We're going to ask you to either tuck your necklace, remove it or you have to leave," Bond said to the local junk food media. "I'm not going to tuck my cross in because of my beliefs. I believe in wearing this cross and what it represents."
Kilroy's Bar 'N Grill has a posted dress code outside the entrance of the establishment and it bans large chains worn outside of shirts.
Now the restaurant is facing a boycott. Bond is demanding that Kilroy's abolish is dress code and has called upon the NAACP.
Local minister David Latimore said that Bond was being singled out whereas others weren't.
The restaurant has not commented on the controversy.
