US shop owner creates sell-out range of anti-gay merchandise

US hardware store owner who’s been at the centre of a media furore over the last few months after putting a ‘No gays allowed’ sign in his shop window has hit the headlines again after creating his own range of homophobic merchandise.

Jeff Amyx originally came under fire shortly after legalisation of marriage equality across the US in June after banning gay people from his hardware shop in Grainger County, Tennessee, but says he’s recieved plenty of support from the local community after printing his message on a new range of merchandise.

“I just don’t agree with their lifestyle,” he told WATE 6-TV. “I don’t want any part of it. I don’t want it around me and I’ll never agree with it.”

Jeff’s selling hats for five dollars a pop and bumper stickers for a very reasonably 50 cents, all bearing a a range of fun messages such as “Choose: God or gays”. In utterly depressing news, he’s already getting more shipped after selling out due to overwhelming demand, adding that he may add t-shirts to the range soon.

“I’m just doing it because people have asked me for it,” he said, explaining that he was making a loss on the products but that the message was more important to him. What a crusader. Perhaps he can get working on some official Kim Davis merch following her bizarre, ‘Eye of the Tiger’-sound-tracked release from prison this week.
