Kind of Gay Soho Store Named in Gay Bias Suit
Lounge, Soho's multi-leveled, eurotrash horror show dedicated to only the best in expensive, purposely shredded clothing, is being sued by Andrew Boeppel, the store's former publicist, who claims that shopowner Jack Menashe used gay slurs. In February, Boeppel had organized a gay networking party (that's what they call them these days) at the Broadway store; allegedly Menashe was displeased with the homo presence and, using a gay slur, banished the queens to a "tiny cafe in the rear of the store."
Poor Menashe. You try to give people what they want...
