Indiana Restaurant Owner Admits to Discriminating Against Gays on Radio
by Matt Wilstein | 11:10 am, March 30th, 2015 AUDIO 1341
As Governor Mike Pence (R-IN) tries to push through a new law that would allow businesses in his state to discriminate against LGBT customers, one has to wonder how many Indiana business owners would actually take advantage of that ability to deny service to people solely based on their sexual orientation.
Late last week, we got a glimpse into the mind of one Indiana restaurant owner, who called into the local Kyle & Rachel radio show to proudly declare that he has discriminated against gay customers and is looking forward to getting the governors explicit permission to keep doing so moving forward.
The man, who only identified himself as Ryan, said that as a Christian he understands that some people have a different lifestyle than him, but he doesnt want them coming into his place of business and making his customers uncomfortable.

This "restaurant owner" could quite possibly be another Joe the Plumber.
