I wonder if the owner had put the word "Teabagger" up there, would the same ones who are defending him still defend him?

If people are offended they shouldn't do business there. Not everyone is going to like what everyone does. Some are going to hate you for what you do and use words meant to offend. I personally think people who are preoccupied with what other people do in their bedroom are sick to begin with.

I personally am gay and could care less what the owner thinks. Otoh I am getting tired of seeing grown men walk around with their pants down. It's so degrading to themselves. No one wants to see their behind.

No way!..........they would surely be claiming "freedom of expression" or possible "artwork."

When I'm offend by a business I just don't go there and then ask others around town what they have experienced. Most of us laugh at businesses who put signs up "Green Products" sold here.......right next to the pesticides!

Wonder why anyone would want to show their underpants, goes along with girls showing their bras!

Haha, thank you for proving my point. Couldn't have done it better myself.

The owner should be happy that people wear pants in his store.

So don't engage in it.
See how simple that is?

The store operator probably thought he wouldn't get by with using slurs like that, instead.

I believe Jesus had something to say about passing judgement without one being free from sin themselves.

The origin of the practice of wearing their saggy pants is advertising for homosexual sex. That is the argument for the sign. The person who wrote the sign knows the origin of the saggy pants statement.
No?? Really?? The argument is the pejorative terms used, not the accuracy. The owner could have used the word "gay" in place of the offensive terms and still got his point across, perhaps even more effectively.
