What does a diesel shop in Michigan have in common with a Washingtonian florist and a Hoosier pizza hut? An owner who refuses to serve openly gay customers.
WOOD-TV reports the owner of Grandville, Mich.-based Dieseltec, Brian Klawiter, posted a statement to his shop's Facebook page Tuesday regarding his view that those with conservative, Christian values are being drowned out by those who don't hold those values. Said statement includes the following passage:
I am a Christian. My company will be run in a way that reflects that. Dishonesty, thievery, immoral behavior, etc. will not be welcomed at MY place of business. (I would not hesitate to refuse service to an openly gay person or persons. 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.)
When interviewed by the NBC affiliate, Klawiter said that while he'd fix a vehicle in need of repair, he would not welcome a gay male couple openly displaying their affection in his shop, proclaiming he and his shop doesn't believe in homosexuality. Klawier adds that he isn't going to ask customers about their sexuality, while also reaffirming his stance on PDAs by same-sex couples.
Asked to view his post from the eyes of a gay individual, he said he would find the statement of belief "enlightening," and that he would cross off Dieseltec from his list of shops.
