Related: About this forumTYT: Shop Owner So Filled With Jesus He Can't Service Gays
John Iadarola (https://twitter.com/jiadarola) and Ana Kasparian (http://www.twitter.com/AnaKasparian) hosts of The Young Turks and guest Abby Martin (https://twitter.com/abbymartin) discuss a Michigan auto repair shop owner, Brian Klawiter, and his anti-gay social media rant.
"The best way to gain a little bit of happiness is to delete Facebook from your smartphone and login as little as possible. Brian Klawiter could have used that advice, when he took to the social media juggernaut to write a scathing rant about how he would never service open members of the LGBT at his auto repair shop, Dieseltec. He went on to say that if anyone that came in his shop with their boyfriend should beat it. He was too busy being covered by and filled with the love of Jesus to be bothered with any other sort of other man on man action. And if any lesbians bothered to come to his shop he wouldn't be that into them either, but that's cool because they wouldn't really be into him at all either because that's sort of how being a lesbian works.
The location of the anti-gay service shop is located in Grandville, Michigan, a city that currently has no anti-discrimination laws based on sexual preference or gender identity."

interestingly, these people never say they won't serve rapists, murderers, war criminals, etc.

or violators of the ten commandments, or blasphemers, or....
somehow, of all the religious laws, rules, and beliefs; homosexuality is the one thing that they feel justifies all manner of meanness.

Is a dreams of a gofundme page similar to the one that garnered 800,000 bigot dollars for a pizza shop that played victim.
