A Tennessee Hardware Store Owner Joins The Club

     In celebration of the Supreme Court ruling a few days ago favoring Colorado baker Jack Phillips who refused to bake a wedding cake for a  gay couple because baking wedding cakes for gay couples goes against his religion,

...the owner of a  hardware store in Tennessee posted the following sign in his store window:

    Jeff Amyx, owner of Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies in Grainger County, East Tennessee,

...first  posted his  "No Gays Allowed" sign three years ago in response to the Supreme Court decision legalizing marriage between same-sex couples.
       However he took the sign down several days later because of local
backlash - apparently the good folks of Grainger County, East Tennessee don't take kindly to overt bigotry - and was compelled to replace it with a more amphibological message:

    Nevertheless Pastor Amyx - the hardware store owner is also a Baptist minister - continued to sell anti-gay merchandise in his store.

...and erected an outhouse on which he hung a sign, reading, "Transgender Bathroom out of service indefinitely."

    But Jeff Amyx returned the "No Gays Allowed" sign to his store window a few days ago after the ruling in favor the homophobic baker, calling the Supreme Court decision a victory for Christianity.

"Christianity is under attack," Amyx said. "This is a great win, don't get me wrong, but this is not the end, this is just the beginning. Right now, we're seeing a ray of sunshine. This is 'happy days' for Christians all over America." (1)

    Welcome to the club,  Pastor Amyx.
