Hooters is a restaurant chain known worldwide, not just in the United States. The suggestive uniform of its waitresses is the main attraction of an establishment that has been immortalized in numerous films and series. What is probably not so obvious is the reality reflected in an opinion piece by Peter Rothpletz, published in the New York Times.
The author has told of a practice that some grandparents and parents have with their gay children. The writer explained that he published a story on his social networks confessing that a relative took him to a Hooters when he was about 15 years old.Rothpletz commented that he was not like the rest of the boys. When he wrote about it, he received numerous reactions from people who confessed to having experienced a similar situation.

“Conversion therapy with ranch dressing”
The New York Times article sums up the situation as follows: “Conversion therapy with a little ranch dressing”. Peter Rothpletz has summarized that he assumes that the intention of the families was always positive, as parents or grandparents sought to “connect” with their children or grandchildren. In any case, the text noted that the aim of these relatives did not come out as expected: “It was a baptism of manhood, which would backfire greatly”.
The complicity of the Hooters waitresses
The author of the New York Times article has praised the complicity of the Hooters waitresses who have pointed out several of the stories he has received. In fact, the restaurant has become for many, according to the writer, a kind of refuge for young gay people in the United States. A safe space that has also been confirmed by the testimonies of the suggestive Hooters waitresses who have come to him, extolling their sensitivity and empathy.
Hooters on the verge of bankruptcy
The restaurant chain is not going through a good economic time. In 2024, some 40 locations were closed across the country and several media outlets point out that its future is unclear. In the coming months, Hooters could file for bankruptcy and is working with several specialists to find the legal channels to do so.
