thedailywhat: The Bitter Taste Of One’s Own Medicine of the Day: The Tennessee state senator who sponsored the controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill — which aims to prohibit teachers from discussing homosexuality in the classroom — was refused service at a Knoxville restaurant because of his anti-gay views. “I hope that Stacy Campfield now knows what it feels like to be unfairly discrimanted [sic] against,” The Bistro at the Bijou wrote on their Facebook page. Reached for comment, Sen. Campfield, who just days ago defended his assertion that it is “virtually impossible” to contract AIDS “through heterosexual sex,” confirmed he was kicked out, saying “I went in there and the lady started calling me names and wouldn’t serve me.” According to Campfield, the hostess called him a homophobe and accused him of hating homosexuals. “In my business I do rental properties and I’ve rented to homosexuals, mixed-race couples, black couples,” countered Campfield. He believes the restaurant treated him unfairly. “If you don’t think the way certain people think, then they think you don’t have a right to be served,” he told Buzzfeed. People denying other people rights simply because they have a different worldview? I agree, Senator. That’s unacceptable. [buzzfeed / facebook / photo: ap via comapp.] This man does not understand the meaning of “irony”, apparently.
