San Francisco Gay Bar Accused of Racism Agrees to Mediation
Former S.F. mayor will help settle 13 complaints of racial discrimination leveled against proprietor of Badlands in the Castro
The owner of a gay bar accused of racial discrimination agreed Sunday to mediation to settle the dispute.
Les Natali, owner of the S.F. Badlands bar in the Castro district, has said all the allegations stem from misperceptions and misunderstandings.
The city's Human Rights Commission determined 13 complaints were valid from eight complainants who said they had been barred from patronizing or working at the bar because they are black.
Natali has agreed to allow former Mayor Willie Brown and attorney Scott Emblidge to mediate the dispute.
Julius Turman, lawyer for the complainants, said Sunday he would recommend that his clients accept Brown and Emblidge as mediators.
Protesters with the anti-discrimination group And Castro for All have picketed the bar weekly since April.
I sincerely hope that this issue is resolved, because as the gay community fights for acceptance and rights it certainly does not help to be divided within our own segment of the population.

yo no se por que la gente de color siempre se siente aludida si deben de entender que eso es un comico y estuvo por muchos anos en circulacion ,y como ellos utilizanel chihuaua para su comercial de taco bell que es una compania americana y tambien el speedy gonzales
o sea que como pais latino tienen que pedir permiso para hacer conocer su cultura?
que equivocados estan
lo siento pero deberian instruirse y aprender culturas diferentes gracias
