Atlanta gym owner defends ban on cops, soldiers: This is not an ‘aggressive, hetero-jock space’

Is it the gym owner’s religious belief that law enforcement is an offense against God, or that soldiers are an abomination? Does his bible say so in those exact terms?

The bakers’resistance to queers is rooted in First Amendment “free exercise” principles. They’re religious at the core. This bigot can make no such claim, not with any degree of credibility.

[Mr. Lucky]

Bingo.

"Meanwhile, the Atlanta Police Department told NBC that the gym’s policy wouldn’t stop them from responding to an emergency there."
...but it might take a little longer.

Dictionary.com provides the following word origin for “gymnasium”:

C16: from Latin: school for gymnastics, from Greek gumnasion, from gumnazein to exercise naked, from gumnos naked

Wonder his reaction and anyone who supports him if another gym owner said ‘This is not a ‘submissive, homo-jock space’ and banned a group that fits.

I support his right to do this. I hope anyone who agrees with him would support other types of discrimination by business owners.

He looks like he has done some time in the big house himself-what a hateful stupid loser....

[Boomer One]

No, future lawsuit. If “law” can be the primary weapon of the left, it’s time to use it against them as well.

[txrefugee]

The gym owner is a snowflake. He feels threatened by real men.

[DCBryan1]

It’s not an aggressive, hetero-jock space that’s dominated by cops and soldiers

Translation: I am a homo commie and this is my safe space!

[AppyPappy]

Because there are no gay or women cops or soldiers

“He looks like he has done some time in the big house himself.....”

So it is a pink ass, pansy juice bar for sissies and crybabies?

Does it have 3 lb training weights with tiny sparkly ribbons on them for the really, weally scawy boys wif big muscles?

Spit...

I bet when this guy’s body produces the slightest bit of testosterone he freaks out and gets diarrhea.

“Meanwhile, the Atlanta Police Department told NBC that the gym’s policy wouldn’t stop them from responding to an emergency there.”

It may take a day or two tho.

This gym will probably be out of business by this time next year. A cursory glance at this guy tells me he opened his own gym because no body else would hire him. If I can see tattoos on a person wearing causal business attire, I won’t hire them. Just ain’t gonna happen.

[OldNukeDaddy]

Plus, it’s going to be really heavy to carry out of the gym.

[Mariner]

Homo lefty.

No cops, huh? When the fire starts in his building, his brothers in the Fire Dept. will [hopefully] say, "no firemen"! When one of his customers is assaulted in the parking lot, or in his establishment, pffft, "no cops"! When the break-in happens and the cops look on, laughing, "no cops"!

If I were a local cop, I wouldn't even patrol near his business.

[boycott]

I hope some thugs rob the place.

[Magnatron]

Well, to be fair, the club does look a little, well...

[ronniesgal]

so it IS a homo gym. got it.
