No Gays Allowed has been trending all day in the US.  After the Supreme Court made its ruling on Gay marriage in 2015, a hardware store owner in Tennessee named Jeff Amyx hung a “Gays Not Allowed” sign in the window of his store. He did it again this year after the Supreme Court made its ruling on the Masterpiece Cakeshop because asshat.  Legally speaking, the Supreme Court decision didn’t change a thing for, or against, LGBT rights.

This sparked other protests and a wakeup call to LGBT individuals across … Continue reading Pride 2016
