WRITE ON WEDNESDAY

This week our WOW hits close to home. This past Sunday, Wilkes-Barre held its annual Pride Parade. As usual there was a great crowd  (over 4,000) and the event was flawless in its energy and purpose. Of course, this being the land of some people who are ignorant also displayed their bigotry. One guy had a sign that said all involved were going to hell, which was funny because he looked like hell snarling with his little sign. Another thing that concerned people was a threat made to a business mainly because he was selling food at the event. 

Really? These self-righteous pricks have nothing better to do than make a threat to ruin a person's livelihood and the dumb ass posted the hate on Facebook. Well the owners responded and we thought running it this week would be a good thing.

 

THE COWARDLY BIGOT AND THE GYRO KING 

It saddens us to have to start our week by writing a post like this.

After recently participating as a food vendor at a local Pride event and sharing our involvement across community pages, we’ve received an overwhelming amount of hateful messages, comments, and threats from people saying they’ll no longer support our business.

We’ve always been proud to be invited to serve at events that bring people together throughout our community. Our role has never been about politics or division—it’s about serving good food, supporting local events, and showing up for our neighbors.

At the end of the day, we believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. That belief extends to every event we attend and every customer we serve.

If choosing kindness, inclusivity, and respect means losing some customers, we’re okay with that. We’d rather build a business that welcomes everyone than one that makes people feel they don’t belong.

To those who continue to support us—thank you. Your encouragement means more than you know. We’ll keep showing up, serving our community, and leading with kindness. ❤️
