Just following a controversial Supreme Court ruling that sided with a bakery who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, a hardware store in Tennessee hung a "no gays allowed" sign.

As the nation debates the legal standing between religious expression and discrimination, this handwritten poster symbolizes the division. The Baptist minister who owns Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies, Jeff Amyx, told WBIR 10 News that he hung the sign because he opposes gay and lesbian couples for religious reasons. Amyx also reiterated that he has no intention of taking the sign down.

Currently 31 states—including Tennessee—do not ban discrimination against sexual orientation or gender identity. This means that over half of America's LGBTQ population live in a state where employers, landlords, hotel managers, and businesses can legally deny service to them based purely on their sexual orientation or identity. 

Though signs like this one have caused national discussions surrounding anti-discrimination legislation, as it stands, the note hanging in Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies is completely legal.
