Stacey Campfield Denied Service at Knoxville Eatery

Thanks to Roommate Patrick for the heads up on this new development in the circus of ignorance that is Stacey Campfield. In a move that should elicit applause from everyone with an open mind, the Bistro, a restaurant in Knoxville, Tennessee, refused service to Stacey Campfield when he arrived there to dine. They posted the following on their Facebook page.

As the Bistro said, I too hope that Mr. Campfield now knows what it feels like to be discriminated against.

A Facebook group has also been created encouraging voters to recall Campfield.

There is also a great thread of comments over at ThinkProgress regarding the Bistro’s refusal to serve him. Enjoy!

UPDATE: January 30, 2012 11:11am There are some great posts over at Towleroad and Queerty following up on this story as it unfolds.

About the author

I’m Tommy, a writer and storyteller who works in marketing for the arts and cultural communities. I’m the author of Mabel Stanley and the Town That Was Built All Wrong, a fun and heartfelt book, and I’m currently working on a novel about self-discovery and the complexities of memory. Writing is a big part of my life, but I also enjoy creating experiences that bring people together, which is why my husband, Matt, and I co-run the online store Have Fun Spread Joy. It’s all about embracing the playful side of life and giving back along the way. I’m married to Matt, and we share our home with our two pets, Zoey (the cat) and Dixie (the dog). When I’m not writing, working on our store, or doing marketing for the arts, I like to dive into theater, something I want to get more involved with over time. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while it comes with its own set of challenges, it also gives me a unique perspective that I try to channel into everything I do. Whether it’s writing, working on creative projects, or finding ways to spread joy, I’m all about making a lasting impact in whatever I do.
