Tennessee Hardware Store puts up "no gays allowed" sign

Well this is horrible. As Shua said this is not the same as the pizzaria in Indiana. He is of course, perfectly within his rights to put up a sign, but if it isn't illegal in Tennessee for him to follow through with it, it should be, unless of course there is some utterly absurd explanation here that escapes my attention.

Can someone tell me why one would care what the sexual orientation of your customers is? Money is money. Seems like this is more an attempt to get attention than anything else.

In general you wouldn't. Certainly for selling hardware you wouldn't. It mainly comes up in the news when it has something to do with a gay wedding ceremony itself.

Yes, this owner is probably an attention whore, and a bad one at that.
