I would like to thank you for printing Larry Maddry's ``Let guys be Hooter Girls? Don't be stupid.'' It is refreshing to hear that not all people are so blinded by sexual orientation that they automatically think they must side with this man.
Speaking as a former Hooters Girl in Virginia and Georgia, I find this suit a complete outrage and an insult. What women are not supposed to have a place to work where they are celebrated as women?
In a lot of French restaurants, they only hire men. Should all women boycott them? No, of course not.
I have no problem with men in the workplace, but Hooters Girls are what have made that business what it is, and we are the ones men come to see.
