So you believe that they are only calling them out because they have managed to become organized and change things in their favor?

A bunch of gay people are religious and specifically Christian so that statement isn't even close to true. Normally when I see debates about religion and homosexuality it is only humiliating to the religious person because they are tangling their beliefs up with how they should treat people and what rights to extend to them. It is humiliating to be called out as a bigot and hypocritical but when your behavior shows you to be that way it makes sense.

Their favorite recreational activity is probably hiking, hanging with friends and family, reading and the same thing as everyone else.

Out of their entire religious text you think the only thing that they disagree with wholeheartedly is someone being gay?

They might not serve known homicidal maniacs also. I don't know. All I know is how people practice their religion should be no business of mine or the state.

I know plenty of gay couples who have great jobs and have lots of money to spend. Conservative business owners have made it abundantly obvious that they don't want our business. Do they hate money or are they just stupid?
Generalize a lot? How do you know that some of the restaurants you are welcomed at aren't owned by conservatives?

Personally I don't have a problem with it. Not that I want that lifestyle for my two kids but I don't judge others....

You said "Maybe they just have anti-gay principles." so I asked you that question because I highly doubt it.

It becomes a business of the state if they openly discriminate against protected classes.

Unlike many bigoted opinions, Conservatives like myself have gay kids.
There are actually many gay Conservatives.

This has nothing to do with conservative opinions.

So the restaurant didn't give you hot chocolate with marshmallows, one straw of course, and now you're sad?

wow rosie, you need to think past your sexual preference. Most people and yes including conservatives don't give a damn who you go into the bedroom with. Stop trying to make something of nothing. Get a life because you really do need something else to talk about.

Making up fake hate crimes? Where did I say there was hate crime?

All I'm saying is conservatives have made it abundantly clear they hate gay people. Since conservatives don't want to do business with gay people, they either hate money or have a stupid business strategy. Just thinking out loud.

You are projecting images from the media & the culture & saying ALL conservatives hate your lifestyle....you don't see any problem with that ? You made it sound like in your first post that something happened when you went to a new place to eat.
