    I thought the same until I read about how it is a safe space for gay teenagers. This is all I found

    But basically they are friendly to gay teens in the closet. Also, I think Hooters is closing.

      I find this interesting but somehow I’m still not sure whether I get it right after reading the article. I don’t know if it’s something wrong with the article or my English comprehension skills. Anyway, here’s what I get from this: so the (grand)parent’s of young gay boys took them to Hooters hoping to reinforce their masculinity and heterosexuality. But the waitresses were so friendly and understanding that they actually ended up reinforcing their real sexual orientation instead. Is that correct?

        That’s correct. They way you said it could have a bad interpretation, but yeah. At the very least, one could say that through their actions they said: there’s nothing wrong with you.
