http://pamshouseblend.firedoglake.com/2012/01/31/anti-gay-tn-lawmaker-stacey-campfield-whines-about-booting-from-restaurant-defends-obsession-wbuttsex/Its nice to see a bigot get a taste of his own medicine. As you may have heard, the dont say gay bill legislator in Tennessee, State Senator Stacey Campfield, was booted out of a restaurant in Knoxville, The Bistro at the Bijou, by the owner for his recent remarks about gays and the origin of AIDS.
When I saw him at the front door, I told him to leave, [Owner Martha] Boggs said Monday. Its just my way to show support for the gay community and stand up to somebody I think is a bully. Hes really gone from being stupid to dangerous. I think he needs to know what it feels like to be discriminated against.
Campfield responded with a blog post comparing himself to Jesus Christ and to the civil-rights demonstrators of the 1960s.
Unfortunately some people do not let facts get in the way of their prejudice, he wrote. I guess some people still support segregation. Just segregation of thought.
Wow. Thats balls. Nice touch for a lawmaker trying to ensure that LGBT Tennesseans dont have the same rights that he has.

He's about as much like Jesus Christ as a pig is like a daisy. And civil rights demonstrators? He'd be the asshole manning the fire hose!
Good for Martha Boggs--I hope she's overwhelmed with business as a consequence of her actions!!

What an idiot that guy he's interviewing is!
So uninformed.
"The average homosexual has a life-span of 24 years less"???
"Many homosexual relationships are NOT monogamous"???
Such a bunch of wive's tales and deliberate desire to stay prejudiced.
What his religion and inadaquate social science education have taught him to be.
What an idiot!
