Bigots should not be allowed to adopt impressionable young people and indoctrinate them in their perverse, immoral lifestyle of hate and ignorance.

not spending a dime in.

You aren't as important as you think you are.

Oh, I have much more than a clue. I am quite educated about the persecution Christians in other countries face which is why I find your attitude disgusting. You think your beliefs are being trampled on because gay Americans want to be treated fairly and with respect. I suggest you visit countries where Christians are routinely tortured and killed for their beliefs. Then come back here and cry how ****ing unfair it is for fellow Americans to demand their rights entitled to them by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

No he does not have that right. In most states, it is against the law to discriminate against anyone - for race, religion, creed, gender etc. Business owners DO NOT have that right.

At any rate, like you, why should I give my money to someone who doesn't like me? In the end, you're still the one losing, because you're the one that is getting discriminated against, but yet the fool that is doing the discriminating is taking your money, and laughing all the way to the bank.
Because they are not looking at it rationally or thinking about the big picture. They are offended and hurt, they want what they want even if it will be to the benefit of the person they are attempting to punish.

No you can't. Gender and Religion are protected under Federal Law. Not a single restaurant, hotel, etc. in this country can legally turn you away for those reasons.

They can simply make up a reason.

Government has no Constitutional power to dictate who businesses must serve. Congress can pass all the laws they want, there is always a way around them.

Say I dont like black people and 2 of them apply for a job at my business. Sorry, position has already been filled.

When government forces business owners to serve a person or group they do not like, private property rights are violated.

In fact they are part of the reason that this country is in the shape its in. Those who are here
illegally need to leave. I won't comment further on the gay lifestyle other than to say its an abomination.
And how are gays not contributing? They work, they pay their taxes, they're involved in their communities and local schools in the same ways straight people are involved........

Hell, for all you know, you have co-workers who are gay and you don't even know it.

And in the end you're still losing, because if you have to force him to comply, then he is taking your money, and more than likely STILL discriminating against you!
My guess is, if people always let other people get away with breaking the law and discriminating, segregation would still be legal, women would still be denied the right to vote, etc. History time and time again shows that some people must be forced to adapt to a changing society if they wish to be integrated in that society. If you want to live in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with no interaction from society, by all means hold whatever archaic views you want. But when you attempt to operate within the confines of society, under the rule of law, there are things expected of you and if you can't comply, then you will face legal consequences.
