if 100 straights walk in and take over a gay bar, is that what you want to be ok ? Then
the gays can't ask them to leave. how about suit-and-tie Mormons taking over a metro
gay bath house ? is that ok with you ? they can stand around and make everyone feel
comfortable.. mm kay ?
It is OK, well, except in the States that pass the bigot laws.
Businesses run by people of faith (don't laugh) wanted this law. Practices that offend the sensibilities of people who have different values than you shouldn't be bullied by the politically correct into serving rituals they believe are wrong minded. They've always been free to turn away money from many other sources.
No, bigots wanted this law - not business owners, not people of faith - bigots. Business groups have almost universally come out against and now so are many churches, church-based universities etc. The ONLY people who want this law are the bigots - that's it. They can try and wrap their bigotry in the cloak of religion, but all but the dimmest see the law for what it really is.
If you don't approve of gay marriage don't marry a member of your own sex. It's as simple as that. Aside from that, what other people do is not up to you. You are either in business to serve the public or not. Being a business owner doesn't give you the right to refuse service to gays any more than it gives you the right to refuse service to blacks or Jews or Muslims.
Anyone can choose to be a bigot in the privacy of their own home. In the world of commerce, you serve EVERYONE.

Straight people are ALREADY allowed in to gay clubs. I have been to gay clubs where there were more heterosexuals that there were gays. As long as everyone is being cool there is no problem. If someone is being disruptive, then they can be asked to leave.

Not even - which is part of the evidence of the corrupt nature of the bigot laws. They allow religiously-driven homophobes to persecute the gays but not vice versa, because while there are religions that are bigoted against homosexuals there are remarkably no religions that are bigoted against homophobes.

Yes, in your state and every state; it is a federal law with no state-based exceptions. You're simply mistaken.
