Looks like we're going to have an extended battle all the way to the Supreme Court. Oh well, I guess that's what it takes to preserve human rights in some states.

The point is that the LGBT community has been discriminating very effectively for a few years now.
These situations are distinguished by the polarity of the overwhelming media pressure each side. Which is also a problem, since media can almost legislate with their power.
This media freedom is Constitutional, but the outcome is decidedly one sided. One could easily make the argument that the bias of the press is more powerful and seditious than anything derived from the 2nd Amendment.
Also think adding "In God we trust" to the state seal, makes them vulnerable to a unconstitutionality due to separation of church and state.
I predict they have foolishly set us all up for a federal government response in retaliation that will reduce our freedoms, rather than increase them as they could have, by singling out Christians and LGBT, when they could have easily just written it anyone. For example, LGBTs should also be allowed to discriminate against the Christians that persecute them, shouldn't they?
(cant' help it again) - Now where are you going to get your homes decorated?
You FORCE them to do business with people they disagree with, you are violating THEIR basic human rights.
If you are demanding it, you saying you are owed.
They don't owe you to serve you. There is no persecution you can name because I won't do business with you, whatever the reason, because I don't owe you to do business with you.
And the "discrimination" card? That's cheap. The antonym of "discrimination" is "tolerance".
Many an atrocity has been committed because people were tolerant of behavior that was contemptible.
EVERYONE discriminates, chooses who they marry out of a crowd, chooses who they associate with, who they chat with, who they do anything with.
To use "discrimination" like a bad word is insane.
It's alternative is to tolerate anything.
That's a total lack of ethics.
That's not for me nor for most people who still have ethics.
You have NO right to demand they do business with whom YOU choose. They get to choose that. We get to choose who we buy from.
This goal of making people sell to EVERYONE equally regardless of their behavior is very unethical and infringes on their right to freely associate as they choose.
Don't like it? Tough. Like I said, glad you don't think they owe you. They don't and never will.
Want to send in a gay store owner who won't sell to straights? My answer is the exact same. HIS right stands to sell to whomever he chooses.
It goes beyond that to a pretense that accomplishing any of that, particularly the application of force to others, is a reward for suffering that birth defect.
Personally, I truly feel sorrow for those that suffer from such an affliction, that refuse to accept their situation and move on to living the best life they can achieve without causing others pain and some type of payment as recompense for their condition.
What a waste of a human life and the reasoning ability that is a part of that life.
