I think exactly that,  if a company does not feel comfortable servicing a gay party, they absolutely should have that right to refuse.

This is so simple.

It really is now. Now we're down to bigotry - pure and simple.

No WAY, No How!  You guys are making it out to be, when it is CLEARLY NOT!  It is about religious freedom...PERIOD.  Clearly part of our 1st amendment!

Maybe the new requirements should be that any business not wishing to do business with individuals that lead lives that they object to due to religious requirements, MUST prefix the name of their business with the word "Christian"; as in "Christian Memories Pizza".

That way everyone knows right out of the gate whether or not they want to go in the place.

The whole point is they would have to be there and would not have wanted to be. They would make the food just not be there to serve it and they should have that choice.

The choice not to be around gay people? Then that line of reasoning would lead to them banning gays from their pizza joint.

No, it would not. I have never had a restaurant ask my sexual preference when I went in with another woman nor have I ever had to state that in any other type of store and they would have to do that, ask, to find out.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

:rolleyes:

No, it's not...on either count.  It's about enshrining and codifying your bigotry and racism into law under the cover of your phoney 'religion' - as I and others have stated all along.

It's the same with you and your ilk's BS idea of 'right of refusal of service'.  That's just another cover for your bigotry and racism.  You're just trying to bring back the 'Jim Crow' concept that was used to discriminate against blacks and use it against homosexuals.

Once you enter into business and become a public entity, you HAVE to leave your personal prejudices at the door.  I don't know how many times you have to be told that before it sinks in.

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

Are you saying that as long as an activity is legal any person in business would have to participate in that activity by photography, catering, decorating, providing transportation or venue?

Right-wing hypocrites are now coming out in support of refusing to provide services to the LGBT community as a way to get rich off of their fellow bigots.
