Why do people think it's fake? The dude was fired, an apology was issued, it happened. People are crazy, faking isn't necessary.

Because they are liars. They know it's real. It just reflects poorly on the left so they ignore the facts and hope the agitprop the spew on here works.

Where are all those 'should not be forced to sell to' hardliners when the bakery issue popped up? Where are the many 'private business, right to refuse' folks now?
Lets face it, this staged event was nothing more that the ying to the yang of the gay bakery sales issue. If you do not see/hear that as clear as a bell, remove your fingers from your ears.

That is a desperate comparison.

Maybe if a guy with a rainbow shirt walked into a bakery and asked to buy a donut and the baker went screaming loco.

Employees don't get to pick and choose who they serve on a whim, they are just there to sell to customers. The owner of the vape shop does not support this and the loser is fired.

Glad you enjoyed the show. If you believe what you are saying consider yourself one of those who gets fooled some of the time. Or maybe even fooled all of the time. The rest of us are laughing. Probably at you.

No. Only illegal when refusing service due to a protected class. If he was refused service because the customer was white then it would have been illegal. If he was refused service due to a religion it would have been illegal. If he was refused service for being male it would have been illegal.

I don't think Georgia has laws making sexual preference a protected class. Not sure if the local city or county has such law either. Sexual preference(straight/gay) is not protected at the federal level either. So he could have been denied service due to being straight or gay (either one), and this would have been legal in GA unless Dekalb Count GA or the city of Tucker has a specific law about this.


However, the store manager/owner could have decided to fired the employee and this is up to the store. Sounds like this is what occurred after-the-fact.

The man has every right to wear a t-shirt supporting President Trump.


Just image if it was a black man in a "hope and change" Obama shirt who was told to GTFO of a liquor store because he must be an anti-white racist for supporting the president. There would be protests and riots in the streets.

Yes he does. Although the clerk ended up serving him anyway, so a moot point legally.
