Brian Klawiter is the owner of Dieseltec in Grandville, Michigan, and he recently took to Facebook to say that he’s a Christian and is sick and tired of all these gay folks in the United States wanting equal rights. So he’s decided to take a stand a refuse to offer auto repair services to any homosexuals who come into his shop.
Klawiter says he won’t ask customers if they’re gay when they enter his place of business, but:
?If you want to come in here with your boyfriend and you want to openly display that, that’s just not going to be tolerated here. We don’t believe that here.?
The Facebook rant, which Klawiter published Tuesday, also states that the auto repair shop owner feels that as a heterosexual Christian he is being discriminated against:
?Apparently if you are white (or close to it), you have a job, go to church, and own a gun? That translates into racists, privileged, bigot, conspiracy theorist. Too many of us say nothing. Well, freedom of speech isn’t just for Liberals, THEY are the ones that need to learn to ?co-exist?, THEY are the ones who need to WORK to be ?equal?.?
Klawiter added that he knows he’s on the right side of the issue and will not debate the matter:
?Homosexuality is wrong, period. If you want to argue this fact with me then I will put your vehicle together with all bolts and no nuts and you can see how that works.?
The only ?nut? I see here is Mr. Klawiter himself, but I suppose since he’s so damn certain that he’s right and the rest of us are wrong then it would be pointless to bring this to his attention.
As is typical of bigoted haters, Klawiter couldn’t resist a defense of himself by saying that he isn’t the vile dungheap of discrimination you might think he is:
“I am not racists[sic], you are for assuming I am, however, I am really quick to judge? if it acts like a duck, and quacks like a duck? It IS a free country and I support your right to your opinion, that being said, if you don’t like what I have to say I reserve that same right to tell you to go cry to your momma (cause your daddy would probably smack ya?, better yet, yes, go tell your dad.).??
No one said this moron was a racist, did they? No, he’s just your garden variety homophobe, and he’s so incredibly adamant on that particular point that it makes me wonder how secure he is in his own sexuality.
