A 23-year-old Sikh man was denied entry into a restaurant in US' Port Jefferson for wearing a turban. "Throughout my life, I've faced verbal abuse and bullying about appearance...However, my basic freedoms of entering public accommodations were never infringed upon," Gurvinder Grewal said. The restaurant apologised, saying it doesn't allow headwear on weekends "to more capably identify people".
