I think that if anti-gay conservative Christians want to claim supposed religious beliefs to discriminate against gay and lesbian people, then perhaps they need to show that they follow every command in the Bible themselves in their daily lives.

Many Christians believe that you are born with sin, so the only way some of these business owners could refuse service to someone is to place one sin above another, they would be picking and choosing and there for negating the entire purpose of the law and what you have been arguing.

That's the difference...
If you don't like their business practices, don't utilize their services....and move on. Is it so damned difficult for you to understand?

I see things I disagree with all the time, I just ignore it. If I dislike the message of a song on the radio, such as Same Love by Mackelmoor, I just change the station. Imagine if there was a pop song on the radio promoting Heterosexual Marriage and the Bible ? Liberals would lose their minds! They would be out for blood.
I do not know if you honestly just miss all the times Conservatives do the exact opposite of what you 2 claim, or if you are purposefully lying.
Super Bowl Sunday you wanted to boycott Coke, There are boycotts of the Boy Scouts, there are Christian consumer groups bent on going after businesses that are pro LGBT, TV watch dog groups that go after TV shows and networks for their content, these people are not just "Changing the station" or not patronizing the stores. They organize boycotts, write letter and so on.
As for the bold, that must be sarcasm, Love in general is about 90% of pop songs and im pretty sure most of them are singing about the opposite sex.

OK, Let's change the sin and ask the question again. What if it's NAMBLA that wants the cake?

Again, if this was about religious freedom then these people would not serve anyone who sinned, instead they are picking and choosing which sin. that is bigotry, not religion.

If being opposed to immoral perversion is bigotry so be it. You make bigotry a good thing. I will wear the label with no guilt or shame.
