A restaurant has refused to serve Stacey Campfield, the antigay Tennessee state senator leading the charge behind the states Dont Say Gay bill, due to his recent string of homophobic comments.
The Knoxville eatery Bistro at the Bijou has received an outpouring of support on its Facebook page after posting that it had asked Campfield to leave after showing up for brunch.
Aside from Campfields backing of the bill, which would prohibit any teacher from referencing homosexuality from kindergarten through eighth grade, the senator made a slew of antigay comments during an interview this month with XM Satellite Radios Michelangelo Signorile.

I do happen to know of at least two restaurants in town that have a large number of gay men as servers, though, so I can see where the stereotype comes from.
