State Senator Behind Don't Say Gay Bill Refused Service At Restaurant
Tennessee state senator Stacey Campfield, who recently said that it is virtually impossible to contract HIV through heterosexual sex, was kicked out of a restaurant in Knoxville. He went quietly.
There's no escaping the homosexual agenda these days -- even as far into the conservative heartland as Knoxville, Tennessee.
A Tennessee state senator who fought to block teaching about homosexuality in schools was refused service at a restaurant in Knoxville yesterday, he confirmed to BuzzFeed.
The Bistro at the Bijou posted on their Facebook page that they turned State Senator Stacey Campfield away because of his views: "I hope that Stacey Campfield now knows what if feels like to be unfairly discrimanted [sic] against."
Campfield sponsored a bill that would bar teachers from discussing homosexuality in the classroom, dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill, and he recently said in an interview that it is "virtually impossible" to contract HIV from heterosexual sex and that AIDS originated by a man having sex with a monkey.
An unfazed Campfield told BuzzFeed in a brief telephone interview that "I went in there and the lady started calling me names and wouldn't serve me." The hostess told him he was a homophobe and that he hates homosexuals, he said.
