Enid Business Owner Catches Heat for Discrimination
By Rusty Surette, NEWS 9

ENID, Oklahoma -- An Oklahoma politician is catching a lot of heat but it has nothing to do with his campaign or platform. Instead, it's the way he runs his business. The politician admits -- he won't allow certain people into his business. But first-- a warning -- some of the language in this story may be very offensive.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but at the Chicaro Club in Enid there's always plenty of food on the pit and there's a stock of scotch at the bar, but there's one thing that's not on the menu, and that's diversity.

"If I discriminate, it's against the people I dislike," owner Gary James said. James is accused of discrimination and he doesn't deny it. "If you come in here with all the in your face and a limp wrist, no I don't really want you in here and my customers damn sure don't want you in here," James said.

James, who is also running for a spot on the Enid City Council, is keeping out what he calls "trash" and "people on welfare." Earlier this week, he told the local paper anyone who wears a hat inside a building is gay, and will be asked to leave.

James said he isn't homophobic or racist. He just refuses to allow anyone who makes him or his customers uneasy inside his business.

"I think it's wrong because people judge the book by its cover," Corey Jenson said. With baggy jeans and visible tattoos, Jenson and Terrence Higdon are perfect examples of what James will not allow into his bar. "I don't see how he can be City Councilman if he can't respect our rights," Higdon said. "We obey the laws and dress how we want to dress."

James said he's also obeying the law; it's just his opinions that others don't like. "If they don't like my actions or my words they don't have to vote for me as far as that election goes," James said.
Despite his colorful comments, James said he still has a good chance of being elected. One of his opponents, Loyd Kaufman, said James is entitled to his own opinion. The election is Tuesday, February 10.

State law prohibits discrimination based race, religion and several other factors. Sexual discrimination is not one of them.

First off.

Wow!

I mean, he's an in-your-face hater, who swears he isn't homophobic or racist, but if you wear a hat inside, or have a limp wrist, then you're gay and you have to get out.

Note to self: send Gary James a dictionary so he can look up homophobic.

Man, he adds a whole new layer to stupid. And he wants to be a politician? Well, he's in the right state for it.

Oklahoma has Sally Kerns who thinks gays are a worse threat than terrorism.

Oklahoma says you can't discriminate based on race, religion, and other things, but go on ahead and discriminate against them gays.

James, running for public office, says if you don't like his opinions don't vote for him.

Better yet, stay out of his hate-filled greasy dive, with it's food pit and stocks of scotch. Let Gary James know that his hatred has consequences, and those consequence are Bye Bye Chicaro Club.

Idiot.
