Subway Employee Denies Christians Service For Wearing Shirts Calling Homosexuality A Sin


A street preacher was reportedly denied service at a Subway in Wisconsin after wearing a shirt calling homosexuality a sin.

Preacher Rich Penkoski is considering suing Subway after being refused service for wearing a shirt, calling homosexuality a sin, and referring to Romans 1.

Penksoki told The Christian Post, “We walked in, and I heard the girl with the red hair in that video say, ‘Oh, Hell no, I’m not serving these guys.”

Here’s what The Christian Post reported:

An outspoken Christian street preacher claims to have been denied service at a Subway restaurant in Wisconsin because he was wearing a T-shirt that declared homosexuality a sin and referenced Romans 1.

Rich Penkoski, who leads the online ministry Warriors for Christ, told The Christian Post that he is considering a lawsuit against Subway after he was recently refused service at one of their locations in Waunakee, Wisconsin.

According to footage of the incident that has since racked up millions of views on X, an employee admitted that she was refusing to serve Penkoski for reasons she described as “a personal matter.”

“We walked in, and I heard the girl with the red hair in that video say, ‘Oh, Hell no, I’m not serving these guys,'” Penkoski told CP.

“And there was a customer in front of us, and she said to him, ‘Are you with these gentlemen?'” Penkosksi said. “He looked back at us and goes, ‘I’m not sure these are gentlemen.’ So I took out my phone and I told the pastor sitting next to me; I said, ‘They just refused service to us!'”

The Subway employee also noted that Penkoski’s T-shirt was the reason why she was refusing to serve him, according to the video. Penkoski told CP that his shirt said “homo-sex is sin” and listed “Romans 1” beneath it.

Per The Daily Mail:

Subway has been accused of religious discrimination against Christians after an outlet in Wisconsin refused to serve customers because of the anti-abortion and anti-gay messages on their T-shirts.

Street preacher David Grisham was in town for the Republican National Convention when he and three friends popped into a Waunakee branch of the fast-food franchise to grab a sandwich.

But they were forced to go elsewhere when a young woman behind the counter confirmed she was refusing to serve the group because of the messages on their T-shirts.

The world’s largest restaurant operator has now been hit with a deluge of angry comments from Christians after video of the exchange went viral, with some warning the company it risks a Bud Light style boycott.
