A street preacher and leader of an online organization called Warriors for Christ said he is considering a lawsuit against the Connecticut-based restaurant chain, Subway, after an employee refused to serve him for wearing a T-shirt with brightly colored text describing homosexuality as “sin.”
Rich Penkoski, who is known for street preaching in Waunakee, Wisconsin, was allegedly refused service after he walked into the sandwich shop, based on video footage circulating on X.
In the video, the Subway staffer admitted she was denying service to Penkoski over “a personal matter.”

Penkoski said when he and and the three men with him — each wearing a different T-shirt emblazoned with provocative wording about spiritual salvation, sexuality, and abortion — the employee at the quick-service eatery said she is “not serving these guys,” Faithwire reports.
“And there was a customer in front of us, and she said to him, ‘Are you with these gentlemen?’” Penkoski recalled. “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 worker apparently stated it was because of Penkoski’s T-shirt that she denied him service. The shirt bore the words, “Homo sex is sin,” with a reference to Romans 1 beneath the neon yellow lettering.
