I never said that.

I am for the businesses freedom to do business with whomever they want without any repercussions from a group that demands special rights.

And whom you choose not to do business with is just as valid a choice.
Hmmm... since you are implying that being gay is a choice, Id like to ask you a question. How many times a day do you fantasize about being gay or think about being gay, but choose to be straight? Since you think its a choice, you must also think about sexual orientations other then your "chosen" one. Right?

They are just a tool. They are not advocating anything by printing a tee-shirt. Why did they start this business to print tee-shirts. That's what they do! So, of course I am okay with this because I do not want to live in a country where people can be refused service based on innate characteristics. I can't help you if you don't understand what I just wrote.

Here is an article on the myth of Christians being discriminated against. Hint: You aren't.

Actually, you missed my point that business CANNOT choose who they want to do business with and are NOT been able to discriminate against minorities. This has been an ongoing issue for the US since our founding and NEVER has a business been allowed to discriminate against minorities.

The 1896 Plessy v Ferguson case actually established this as case law, that you must serve the general public as a business. Along with allowing segregation but that is another topic entirely.

BTW, just a little info for you, being transgendered and being gay are two totally different things. Im gay and I have never wanted to become a woman.

You have it being discrimination against Both homosexuals and heterosexuals because of their sexual orientation. Crazy.

Businesses aren't yet banned from refusing service based on opposition to social policy. There's zero evidence that the business ever refused service to a gay person based on sexual orientation. That would be illegal.

It should be like this. People of faith have the right to practice their religious freedom as they so choose and those groups and individuals unable or unwilling to be tolerant and/or agreeable about this are best served by opting for a non confrontational attitude. Copping a fallacious attitude, lying and otherwise trying to mislead the public is not a productive course of action.
