| Description | KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee State Sen. Stacey Campfield -- the Knoxville lawmaker behind the controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill making its way in the Tennessee state legislature -- was ejected from a Knoxville bistro on Sunday because of his anti-gay views.
Martha Boggs, owner of the Bistro at the Bijou, said she ordered Campfield out of her restaurant in disgust over his recent remarks about the origin of AIDS.
Campfield, appearing on the Michelangelo Signorile Show on Sirius XM radio last week, claimed that HIV originated in the gay community by an airline pilot who had sex with monkey, and that it was “virtually impossible” to contract the disease through heterosexual sex. |
