A Subway location in Angers, France has stirred the pot on marriage equality all over the world when a Valentine’s Day special for heterosexual couples only at a local Subway restaurant. The backlash from the offer was world wide, even causing other Subway locations to take some heat from it’s customers even though the franchises are owned individually. A Photo of the offer has been cycling around the internet and it looks like bad business for Subway, after the owner of this particular location said “Discrimination: No, the marriage for all law has advanced, but has yet to be ratified by the Senate. Until then, I’ll use my freedom of expression.” Hit the jump for more.
