My point is that in many states there are no anti-discrimination laws for gays. Many of these states are in the bible belt. In those states it is perfectly legal to put up a no-gays allowed sign, and not get sued. Why don't we ever see examples of these signs? I mean sure gays are less identifiable than somebody of a different race, and anyone who isn't straight in these areas will likely "act" more straight, but then you have some places like Florida, The Carolinas, etc  where there are a lot of gay people and a lot of very religious people where you'd think there would be signs like this sprouting up. I think most people on the religious right, especially younger people, are not really that fanatical about the topic. They seem more interested in topics like abortion, immigration, and the warfare state. It's why there have been so many leaps and bounds in legislation for gay marriage/less opposition against federal court rulings in the last few years. 

Them not wanting gays in their establishment is not the problem. Thats their freedom of speech, Its getting the state behind them that is the issue. Its very concerning and I hope the government steps back and leaves the church to their own free speech if they would like. To the state into this is ridiculous because Christians even though those signs may not say much (or even anything about gays) it says a lot about the bias of Christian believers in those states during segregation. As I said, this is only opening pandoras box for greater issues.

In that case I agree.
