An American rabbinical student has won a court case against a Jerusalem pizzeria he said outright refused to serve him because he is gay. A Jerusalem small claims court ordered Ben Yehuda 2 pizzeria to pay the student, Sammy Kanter, about $4,500 in damages. The incident occurred last August, while he and fellow rabbinical students celebrated the city’s LGBTQ pride weekend. Kanter said a pizzeria employee greeted the group and started handing out menus, then spotted the shirt. “The guy behind the counter said ‘Atah Homo (are you gay)?’ I said yes,” Kanter wrote on Facebook last August.
