See, there you have it. Your sexual lifestyle is now to be considered the same thing as sex or race . When will we stop being "hateful" and "bigoted" toward pedophiles, polygamist, incestuous or whatever?

I do not think people who put this really know about history since history is being created but it is much easier to put a lazy answer like this.

Why should a private business owner not be allowed to determine who he wants to do business with and to associate with? Rather than suing someone, wouldn't it just be easier just find some else who wants to associate with you and do business? Why do you need to force sovereign people to associate with you and pretend to like and approve of you? Why don't you win them over?




It's funny how people call liberty and freedom and morals hatred and bigotry.

sexual lifestyle choice, huh??

How does having gay customers deny his religious beliefs?

Agreed! It's not a choice!!!! It just ISSSSSSSS. If you're a guy and you're with your wife, why did you marry her? Because you were attracted and it felt natural???? Well, that's why Joe and Dave down the street are getting married too!!! Arrrrghhh.

But think of all the people choosing to openly live the heterosexual lifestyle. Their attitude is so "in yo' face" that it's like they are demanding that you accept them. Why can't they just keep their sexuality to themselves?
