An East Tennessee hardware store owner decided to express his beliefs following the Supreme Court's ruling allowing same-sex marriage by putting up a sign that reads, "No Gays Allowed." My man has the world's shittiest treehouse. --- What is this, a fair for ants? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wait, so if he ended up removing the no gays allowed sign, are they still not allowed? And how would he know exactly whos gay and whos not?

Fair enough, but also fair if he's protested out of business.

On Tuesday, Amyx removed the "No Gays allowed" sign and replaced it with a sign that says: "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who would violate our rights of freedom of speech & freedom of religion." I believe that is, in fact, still illegal. Especially with the context of the first sign making the intent clear. --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera https://signavatar.com/26999_s.png ...

"They gladly stand for what they believe in, why can't I? They believe their way is right, I believe it's wrong. But yet I'm going to take more persecution than them because I'm standing for what I believe in," Amyx said. Probably because there's no justification, religions or otherwise, to refuse to sell "the gays" lumber and nails. This is the slippery slope we told you people was coming if businesses could declare "religion" as an excuse for bigotry. --- "a minority is someone who you can tell off the bat they are black/hispanic/colored.

This is 'happy days' for Christians all over America, but dark days will come."' But it's ironic since these types of Christians are all "I hope the world gets worse so Christ returns quicker!" So which is it? Is it bad for Christians to be picked on, or do you want to be picked on to speed up the whole Rapture thing? --- I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals FUH-LAMING! - Homer Simpson i.imgur.com/a2EzoIs.gif i.imgur.com/rPcGRiP.gif ...

Thats not what the Supreme Court decided.
The Court merely sided with the baker because the Colorado Civil Rights Commission acted like Evergreen College students in their harassment of the baker. Its not the question we were pursuing, but it is still excellent precedent in that parties have to act like civil human beings when they bring an issue to the Court. --- {}\\{}(o){}\\//{}//=\\{})){}(< \\//{}{{-{}//\\{} {}xxxxxxxx{};;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;> ...
