Michigan Auto Shop Owner Faces Backlash After Declaring He Won’t Serve Gays

GRANDVILLE, Mich. (WWJ) – A west Michigan business owner claims he’s been the target of death threats after he announced he won’t serve gays.

Brian Klawiter, who owns Dieseltec Automotive Repair in Grandville, posted a message on his business’ Facebook page saying that he is a Christian, and that his company does not welcome “immoral behavior” — including homosexuality.

“Our rights as conservative Americans are being squashed more and more everyday. Apparently if you are white (or close to it), you have a job, go to church, and own a gun… That translates into racists, privileged, bigot, conspiracy theorist.

This is either a stupid move, a publicity stunt, or an attempt to get some sort of cash bonanza such as happened to the pizza parlor owners. The owner KNOWS that he serves people every day who don’t conform to his Christian values or beliefs, and that has never been a problem until now.

Wow. Just came from a liberal website and their HATRED for Christians is terrifying. I told them to go call Allah the “sky fairy” in Iran or Iraq or Saudi Arabia like they do here. Bunch of cowards. I told them how my mother, a fierce Christian, took care AIDS patients when it was at its worst for free (she was a nurse) and they insulted her anyway. This is what we’re up against.

You’re right.

Right-minded people are not refusing service to “gays” or any other category of person.

Right-minded people are refusing to offer certain services that they just don’t provide: “gay wedding” cakes, for example.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he is hoping for a fund raiser.

Of course he is........

Who would believe that this guy is denying service simply because he THINKS someone is gay........?

How many customers have walked into his garage and said "I'm gay and I think I need a new alternator"?.........OR:

"Before I work on your car, I need to know if you're a homosexual".........

If the guy is legit then I don't support stupidity...........

This is all just an effort to establish “behavior” as an immutable trait equal to skin color or national origin.

IOW pushing the myth of “born that way”.

Discrimination against people who have sex with farm animals?

Marriage swingers?

leather fetishes?

Married man with his mistress?

any of those ok to not want in your business?

This is about legislating normal a sexual fetish.

footnote: notice how the drive by media is trying to MANDATE parents HAVE TO be supportive of offspring who engage is fetish behavior? Parents who kick out college kids who engage in the behavior are not allowed the choice per the sex obsessed CNN, FNC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC.

Tell them to put a banana up their exhaust pipe....

That being said.. fixing gay guy car does not have any religious connotations .. but politically the gay rights movement has become such thugs about imposing on other ... but not ever gay is a "Pink Panther"
