Not exactly the way to deal with the ruling.

No, Mr Amyx, I wouldn't that if I were you. LGBT activists already have hunted down businesses that refused to offer their services strictly for same-sex ceremonies, now you've painted your entire body with a bulls-eye if they ever wanted to go after you. Any LGBT could fly to your country, walk into your store and say, "I'm trying to build a table for my boyfriend. It's a gift for our five year anniversary," and if you deny him because service he'll have the right to sue you based on discrimination. You'll have hell to pay. If they can come after a small family pizzeria in small town Indiana then they can come after you.

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."
Jeff Amyx, who owns Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies in Grainger County, Tennessee., about an hour outside of Knoxville, added the "No Gays Allowed" sign because he says gay and lesbian couples are against his religion.

Amyx, who is also a baptist minister, said he realized Monday morning that LGBT 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.

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."

He said he has no plans to take the sign down.

This isn't the right way to deal with the ruling and definitely isn't the right way represent Christianity.

Note: I get the feeling that the content is inaccurate. It says the store owner put of the sign because "gays and lesbians are against his religion." Clearly by words that were written to give the story context the owner put the sign up because he was upset about the ruling - that he believed actual marriage consisted of one-man and one-woman, not two people of the same sex. He even indirectly expresseses that sentiment. If any of the staff writers of WBIR knew about Christianity (which they should since it covers the east Tennessee region) is that people with same-sex attraction have a disorder, that their affections are aimed at the wrong sex, and only when acted/indulged upon is when it is against the religion. It is the act, not the person, that is not allowed. The staff writer didn't even quote Mr. Amyx on the basis that "gays and lesbians are against his religion." Unless the store owner, in some unquoted quote, that gays and lesbians aren't allowed into Christianity then I think this another attempt at the "new black." It's working, because the sheep are buying it.
