Not if it is a public business and he violates anti-discrimination laws.
He could refuse business to a loud-mouthed obnoxious idiot who was making a nuisance of themselves, but he couldn't refuse business to someone purely on the basis of their protected class. ie race, gender, age, religion, and in some states (like this one), sexual orientation.
Sin is a religious concept, and has no relevancy outside YOUR personal beliefs. If you think homosexuality is a sin, don't be a homosexual. Think eating pork is a sin, don't eat pork. Think wearing mixed fibers is a sin, don't wear mixed fibers.
A screw and a bolt are the same thing.
There are MANY examples of homosexual behaviors in nature among animals. Some male black swans pair bond for life.
Another well documented example is rams. "male sheep exhibit homosexuality at least as often as humans: roughly 8% of rams turn out to have sex exclusively with other rams."
She can do what she wants based on her religious convictions.
To assume otherwise is projecting hate on those who have religious beliefs.
No, ALL businesses have to follow the laws of the state that they are doing business in.

I made a statement that showed my disdain and contempt.
Well aren't you just precious to think your "disdain and contempt" means a damn thing vis-à-vis the law.
Now, do you have a point that ACTUALLY comports with the way the law works, or are you just hear to advance your opinion on "the way it should work" vs. "the way it does work?"
If the latter is your goal, then your opinion is duly noted. Thank you.

Sorry, you are mistaken.
Religious beliefs do not trump state laws. You misunderstand the 1st Amendment.
Otherwise some people could claim things like stoning to death a women who is not a virgin on her wedding night is a 'religious conviction' and they should be exempt from being prosecuted for murder.
