Bull.
I was born in that town and a lot of my family is still around there.

In the community's defense...........

This place is a small, ramshackle dive, off the beaten path in a real seedy part of town. I doubt 90% of people in Enid even knew the place was there, much less the owners business practices.

It's not like this joint is a 200 seat restaurant on the main drag in town. If you go by it, it looks like what it is. A nasty redneck bar,

LOL! Maybe it actually will do wonders for business if much more bigots and/or hatemongers begin eating there much more frequently.

Gary's probably happy, as there is no such thing as bad publicity, and he's getting a lot of it.

Sounds like a more appropriate place for a dive of a gay bar in Enid. Enid is a nice town, otherwise.

The definition is Fascism.

While what he is doing is in poor taste and probably a suicidal business decision, he has every right to do it.

Why not? What stops you?

Common law, or statutory law?


It is not illegal to do anything in life. It only becomes illegal when you get caught.
