News A Tennessee store put up a "no gays allowed" sign ? and it's totally legal - GoFuckYourself.com

brassmonkey · 07-01-2015, 06:03 PM

After the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states, a store in Grainger County, Tennessee, put up a sign with a terrible message: "No gays allowed."

Jeff Amyx, a baptist minister who owns Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies, told WBIR 10 News that he put up the sign because he's religiously opposed to gay and lesbian couples, and that he has no intent of taking the sign down.

The storeowner's actions invoke memories of similar signs that were used in the South prior to the Civil Rights Movement to enforce segregation, which is now illegal under federal law. But unlike discrimination against black people and other racial minorities, this type of discrimination against gay and lesbian people is totally legal ? not just in Tennessee, but most other states in the US.

Interesting idea...but difficult to enforce I should imagine.

How is he going to tell if someone is gay or not?

Offer up his no doubt micro-cock to be sucked? Certainly any self-respecting fag is going to turn him down...hence his confusion.

Good luck with that!

Was the store owner black? It doesn't specify race.

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 2751 - Supreme Court 2014

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. made private businesses exempt from enforcing some public laws. It was a bad decision and will end up back in the US Supreme Court's face.

You can thank Justices Alito and Scalia.

Not that I agree with not serving gay customers - store owners have the right under Trespass to Property act to ask anyone to leave the premises regardless of their reason. If they refuse to leave, they can be served a Trespass to Property ticket. We do it with downtown vagrants on city property every day.

The customer could possibly have a civil rights case in court...depending on the circumstances. But it would likely be a costly and lengthy battle.

I encountered this often when doing abandonment photography on private property. If an owner showed up and asked me to leave, I complied right away...otherwise he could have cops issue a citation ($100 ticket).

Not sure how it works in other provinces, countries and jurisdictins.

Will this turn into another one of those things where he gets sued, starts a gofundeme page and people give him a million dollars?

Hell, if it turns out that way and works, this could be a new business model.

Guy is ignoring 99.999% of the Bible in favor of two or three ambiguous passages.

Pretty sure his God isn't cool with that.

Shouldn't matter. Never turn away a paying customer. Just bad business sense.

That's not entirely accurate. Store owners have the right to ask anyone to leave, for any reason, as long as it's not an illegal reason...illegal reasons are those based on race, religion, national origin, or sex. That's the Federal Civil Rights Act. Some states also extend those protections to cover sexual orientation, but not all the States.
