Exactly! When some people/businesses voice their opinions liberals like to attack, boycott and insult!
And it seems to work. It's called the marketplace. If these "innocent businesses" have so much support from people on "your side," then why don't they continue to flourish? They don't, because the majority of people in 2014 are disgusted by discriminatory actions coming from a PUBLIC BUSINESS.
It can.
Losing a confused minority will not hurt most well ran businesses. Most NORMAL people aren't going to stop shopping somewhere because a owner runs a business based on his/her own beliefs, and because a confused minority is upset that the business owners will not toss those beliefs aside.
The confused minority here are the business owners - they are thankfully not representative of most Christians I know now (but certainly the Christians I grew up surrounded by). They should also reject my business because I am a Jew - furnishing goods for my wedding would just be encouraging me to live a life of Jewish sin, right?
I would never turn away a Christian from my business. Never. Even if my services (digital content strategy & marketing) help them to promote things that I find blasphemous, such as promoting a church, Christian living, the Bible, or belief in a false messiah. It's business, not personal.
The "Gaystapo" strikes again. This time because the business refused to marry two lesbians on the property which was also the owner's residence. So now, besides a hefty fine, the business has to show proof of sensitivity training/indoctrination. This is going to happen again and again across Amerika people. Instead of just finding another place in which to conduct your business LGBTs are going to visit ALL private businesses in Amerika and force the issue. So when do churches stop having the right to refuse LGBT weddings is my question? And if you try to bow out for whatever the personal conviction and refuse to "fly the rainbow flag" you will be ostracized. Kind of reminds me of something that happened somewhere in the late 1930s/early 1940s........
Take it up with New York state. This business violated a law. In New York state, it's illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation. Had this farm been in Bloomsburg, PA, no legal action could be taken against them because there is no such law. As a business, it's pertinent to understand the laws of the state that you conduct business in. Once again, stupidity and a bad move on behalf of the owners. So go ahead and start your court case to get sexual orientation removed from the state's discrimination laws. After all, since people like you think that the majority would agree, it should be easy to get that removed from law, right?
I shop owner refuses to serve a black man at the lunch counter or the gay man at the lunch counter, what's difference?
No difference,It's his/her decision. Personally I would turn around and never go inside again, and go to another one of the thousand of choices I would have. Insanely simple solution. I'm certainly not going whine and ***** about it, and try to change their beliefs.

And when most people receive crappy service at a business, they tell others. They use word of mouth, they take to social media, they write reviews, etc. That's exactly what this couple did.
