A gay rights activist in Puerto Rico has posted a controversial photo of a receipt from a local restaurant called El Ocho De Blanco. At the bottom of the receipt, which was printed from an ATM Mobile Services machine, was a slur against homosexuals. In his Facebook post, Pedro Julio Serrano said “we will investigate”, and demanded that the restaurant fix the malfunction, which he claims “incites hatred against LGBTT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and transexual] individuals”. His post received 178 shares and 100 comments on Facebook.
