Yeah. I sort of agree with where you are coming from. Sorry if I offended you. I am trying to argue why it's a good thing, but there are plenty of negatives to it. Employment being a big one. The problem is that I have never encountered a situation where somebody did not provide entrance/serve a person because of religious views. I could only assume that those people are very strong to stand at their guns(not literal guns..have to make that clear) on denying gay people though that trying to change them will just bring more trouble than it helps. Does that make sense, or no? Also, I would never support a company that disrespects me or my friends. I would just leave. I guess that's just my personality. Pretty quiet person who doesn't like to complain about stuff.
I thought this issue was mainly about churches providing weddings for gay couples, anyway. I believe it's in their right for a church to not provide weddings for gay couples. The law protects businesses against providing anything for the occassion of a gay wedding. Also, it's unlikely that this law can be used to prevent people from getting Housing, Insurance, Banking, or employment because that isn't what the law is for anyway. The law is to let people who don't want to help in a gay marriage because of religious beliefs not have to serve those people. If the people's religious views are being "corrupted" by having to work on a gay marriage they have a right to not. People were being sued because they didn't want to provide a service(photography, cake, decorations, dresses) for a gay wedding. That is not something I am not OK with.

Churches aren't public businesses to begin with so them being forced to do things would be wrong agreed.
While the law might be "intended" only for stopping individuals from being forced to provide goods or services or services for gay weddings. It allows for much more.
and there have already been cases where discrimination in businesses and employment happen before this law existed, why would it be reduced when businesses could get away with it without being sued?

im pretty sure churches have the right to discriminate allreadys. otherwise the catholic church couldnt work...
