Why force a business to do what gays want? You will guarantee the worse service.
You mean just like we used to have separate drinking fountains for the "blacks" and the "whites"?

Many people, myself included, do not equate slavery and Jim Crow with a gay person having to find a baker who does gay weddings.

Right?? I'll just have a big ole sign that says "No Christians allowed!" & I'm going to make sure I'll ask each person walking in if they're religious & what religion.

You can not discriminate on the basis of religion - it's against federal law. But, you can use religion as a basis for discrimination under this AZ law.

This law would allow Muslim cab drivers to refuse service to a woman traveling alone. Republicans are sensitive to Sharia Law, I guess.

These Christians are pretty hypocritical, no? Don't discriminate against us, but let us use our religion as an excuse to discriminate against you.

How is it different?

The end result is the same - a group of people forced to seek unique and specific accommodation due to some other people having decided that they should be discriminated against.

Are "all men created equal" or not?

This is a bill so people dont get SUED if they refuse to serve someone , whats wrong with you people. This is a great bill to protect peoples rights and freedoms and not get sued for stupid things left and right that this country is known for.

Nobody said gay and lesbians CAN NOT be served anywhere anymore now did they? I am sure people will still get served and some place will refuse. Simple solution , if they dont serve you then just find another place to eat at? Why is that so hard. Would you still eat at a place that served your bad food? No , you would go elsewhere .

Thats the problem with the gay and lesbian crowd , they are being way over dramatic about ****.... I personally feel this was a common sense bill to protect everyone.
