Jeff Amyx, who owns Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies in Grainger County, Tenn., 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.
