The civil rights movement was not all about being served at "Whites Only" establishments but about being treated equally, being given the same tools to achieve success in society by being educated fairly, by not being beaten or imprisoned just cause, receiving justice if someone came into your home and killed your family, or raped your wife, daughter, son, etc.
I still would not want to force someone to take my money, but don't expect me to utilize your services if you treat me as less than. However, I do believe in equal opportunity.
Nor is the homosexual equality movement only about being served at restaurants.
So range of choices should figure into whether we ensure entitled rights to all Americans? Discrimination against homosexuals was systemic until they started speaking up too.
Homosexuality is a behavior so it's on a different level than discriminating against blacks or other races. Though private businesses should be able to discriminate against all.
The owner is a bad businessman. If the lesbian/gay community wants to make a change with that restaurant, all they need to do is build a better restaurant across the street. I have been to the restaurant in question and the food stinks and the alcohold is overpriced. I used to eat there every now and then...now, I will never eat there again.

If it was that bad you would have only eaten there once. Sour grapes.

Cite your scientific evidence or it ain't true...
I DO agree with your second assertion though. In the 60s govt intervention was necessary.
I believe we are past that now somewhat.
No serious business will discriminate. Bad business.

What evidence? That homosexuality is a behavior? How is having sex with men not a behavior?
I think you mean 'homosexual attraction' is biological. I actually agree but unless it manifests in behavior (having sex with others of the same sex, proclaiming you have this attraction) there is no way you can discriminate against something you can't see.
I guess you can discriminate against effete men but some effete men aren't homosexuals and some homosexuals are not effete.
Sister's Restaurant in Van Buren, Arkransas has crappy food.

There are no good restaurants in Van Buren Arkansas. It is a small, dry, backward's, town. I ate there because it was on my way, from now on I will just wait a little longer and eat somewhere else
It is a little whole in the wall restaurant the only other resturaunt in downtown van buren on that street serves burgers... so it was either a burger or that restaurant or wait until you get into another town...better to wait until you get to another town.

No it's not.
You are wrong.
It is a sexual orientation.
There are gay teenagers and others who are still virgins ... but they are still gay, and part of the LGBT Community.
There are some who are not engaging in sexual activity in the present, but have in the past or will in the future ... and are still members of the LGBT Community.
