Mr. Amyx, how do you tell if the person who walks in your store is gay? Not everybody who is gay looks "gay", and not everybody who looks "gay" is gay!

COMMENTS: 
*  I'm sure Jesus is impressed. Do Christians in the US even open their bibles?
*  "We don't serve no colored folk in this here diner."  This guy's attitude and business is literally a thing of the past.
*  Don't want to socially associate with 'different' in public then don't. Don't want to let 'different' into your house then don't. You don't want to sell your old car to someone 'different' then don't. Your personal life is indeed your own as long as you do not steal, abuse, or illegally interfere with the lives of people around you. A place of public business is NOT your personal life even tho you may own the business lock stock and barrel. The public (and that means all of us) protect your business, regulate your business for the good of all, provide the roads and access to your business, provide a legal system for resolving disputes etc. As such your business must serve the entire public equally and fairly. I am a law abiding good citizen and a proud Atheist -- are you going to refuse to serve me?
*  I think Jesus would be ashamed of many of today's "Christians". What awful behavior. I wonder if he will require all customers to fill out a questionnaire before entering the store or making a purchase?
*  "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who would violate our rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion," ...but apparently we're perfectly fine with limiting the freedom of speech and religion of others.
*   YOU can stand for what you believe....your business cannot discriminate.....it's simple really

Tennessee store owner posts sign telling gays to stay away 
By Tim Ghianni, July 1, 2015

A Tennessee hardware store owner who objects to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling permitting same-sex marriage across the country posted a "No Gays Allowed" sign at his store on Monday, according to a local media report.

Jeff Amyx, who also is a Baptist minister, then swapped the sign on Tuesday at his Washburn, Tennessee, store to one that reads, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who would violate our rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion," Knoxville television station WVLT reported.

"I don't want them around because their lifestyle is one I disagree with," Amyx told the station.

Amyx could not be reached immediately for comment on Wednesday at his Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies store. The station said he has received supportive and harassing telephone calls.

"Homosexuals stand boldly for what they believe. Why can't I stand boldly for what I believe?" Amyx said.
