My opinion is you can turn away anybody you want. Why not? You are providing a product and should be able to control where that product goes. Like if I own a video game store I can deny the kid that is acting stuck up and moronic and instead sell my product to somebody who actually acts like a nice person. You own the items/services, you can decide where/how/when/and why it goes. Does it really matter if the racist assholes deny a black person service, or the Catholic church denies gay couples service? In my opinion, no. Sure, they may be bad people, but you shouldn't force people to provide a product to everybody even if they don't want them. It's creates more controversy than it solves.There are plenty of other stores that can provide for you. And if it turns out that a majority of stores deny gays, then I guess the USA should ban gay marriage because the people are obviously not ready for it. The people decide what happens in this country, how it's always been, how it always should be. I for one am fine with all kinds of people. It's not like they are affecting me in anyway.

 

Sounds great. Please back away because my book with little to no scientific evidence for anything tells me you're an abomination and the state gave me the power to tell you to go to another establishment. You know this power in the hands of many Christians can cause people to leave states, right? Christians are not the persecuted bunch they make themselves out to be. They make up 80% of the country and are very powerful. It would become a civil rights issue because the state would've backed bigotry. Everyone would have a right to freedom of thought and religion, but this is religion imposing itself on others. If it expands that could turn into segregation of gays from neighborhoods. These things spread like a virus. The problem with the religious is they do not think about the weight of their actions on society, so they never truly understand why people say they push society back.

LOL, Christians make up 80% of the population?  Well 80% of them are not against gays. It's only the extreme Christians that hate gays. Being a Christian doesn't automatically make you a bad guy who disrespects gays. They don't have to follow the bible word for word, and 95% of Christians don't .

Homosexuality vs heterosexuality isn't even an issue for younger generations. Most kids don't care about segregation based on stupid shit like somebody being gay. These younger people did not experience most of the shit the prior generations did. In the next few decades the last of these ignorant assholes from the 1900's will be dying off. I know you think this will spread but I can almost guarantee that it won't based on the past few generations knowledge of the situation. Most of the people who do not want to interact with gay people are old, white men who were alive when there was white/black segregation. Don't worry man. The world will be better once these idiots die off. But until they do, I don't think it's right to tell them that they must serve somebody who they don't want to serve. It's pretty idiotic in my opinion and only bad can come from it. Seriously, what good can come from MAKING somebody do something they don't want to do? I keep going back to this point:Just go to another shop or buy shit online.

I am not arguing if it's right to be gay or not to be gay. I am just arguing that there is really no point in enforcing something as idiotic as making somebody serve everybody because it will only make the world shittier.

You say homosexuality vs heterosexuality is not an issue for younger generations. Yes, science, technology and modern education (all related) has moved us forward, but religion teaches that these things are wrong. You can still brainwash children into looking down upon others because its learned and I came from Christian communities like this. My family comes form Jamaica and because of Christian indoctrination through slavery I feel bad for any homosexual on the island. Its even worse that people have to fear for their lives and have to have coming out to their parents be such a dramatic event that could tear families apart. Two thousand year old unsubstantiated nonsense that couldn't even hold itself up in a debate because it relies upon faith and not facts. Science has already proven the legitimacy of homosexuality in nature, because there are 1500 species on the planet that have the capacity to be homosexual. Now we can further dig into the depth of where it might come from (and that continues).


If they don't want to serve homosexuals, they should have the balls to come out and say it. Homosexuals would know to steer clear (just like the Chic-fil-a) situation. Instead they picket and annoy people to death. Some people even commit suicide because that crap. Yes, we are a newer generation, but I don't even let this shit fly with my parents. Why? Because whenever people get angry their bias and bigoted ways come out because emotion takes over.

Sorry if this comes off as a bit much, but I made a lot of friends at school that are homosexual and to hear their stories makes me weep for society.

P.S.

People should have the right to feel whatever way they want about others as long as they keep it private and do not harm others. The problem is the group that is wielding the power humiliates because they believe its right.
