Disgusted By Marriage Equality Ruling, Hardware Store Owner Proudly Hangs “No Gays Allowed” Sign In Window.
Jeff Amyx, who owns Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies in Grainger County, added the 'No Gays Allowed' sign because gay and lesbian couples are against his religion.
Amyx, who is also a baptist minister, said he realized Monday morning that homosexual people are not afraid to stand for what they believe in. He said it showed him that Christian people should be brave enough to stand for what they believe in.
"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.
Normally I don't like to give people like this their 15 min but this stuff has to stop.
My best guess the go-fund page starts this weekend.
How can this be legal? Maybe as a gay man this stuff upset me much more than it should but shit this just pisses me off like nothing else.
Why this isn't everywhere amazes me.
For the record Mr. Amyx as gay man I don't care even 1% about your religion and I'm not against it.......I don't care.......personally this isn't about your religion its about your HATE!

This guy has no shame He said he has no plans to take the sign down.
I know we have no real media in this country but it seems to me this guy should be so shamed that he would have to close his doors.
I live in IL but I hope some people in Tennessee might want this guy know this is not acceptable in 2015!
