Last week we reported that Martha Boggs owner of Bistro at the Bijou in Knoxville, TN made a stand for the LGBT community and kicked out anti-gay Tennessee state Senator Stacey Campfield out of her restaurant during a Sunday afternoon seating.

Campfield is on record saying that “AIDS happened because a gay man had sex with a monkey”

Martha explains:  “That was done in part…to protest some of the things [Campfield] has said in the media particularly about AIDS, HIV and the gay community in general. I think he’s a bully and he needed to be stood up to.”

YOU are a HERO Martha Boggs. 

And don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

Restaurant Refuses To Serve Anti-Gay GOP State Senator Stacey Campbell Because Of His Hateful Agenda

Anti-Gay Tennessee Senator Stacey Campfield the force behind Tennessee’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill got a taste of his own hateful medicine this weekend when the restaurant owner Martha Boggs of the Bistro at the Bijou in Knoxville refused to serve Campbell over his anti-gay statements and hateful agenda and told him to leave.

“I didn’t want his hate in my restaurant. I told him he wasn’t welcome here. … I feel like he’s gone from being stupid to being dangerous, and I wanted to stand up to him.”
 
Besides the Tennessee’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill.  In recent months Campfield has asserted that bullying of gay kids “is a lark”, compared homosexuality to sex with animals, that homosexuality is “glorified” in the media, and that it’s “virtually impossible” for heterosexuals to contract AIDS and that AIDS was created by a gay man who had sex with a monkey.
 
Back2Stonewall.com applauds Martha Boggs for her courage and actions in standing up to this this hateful bigot.
