Why in the hell should anyone have to lie about not wanting to provide a service to a gay wedding?
Apparently, the author believes those with religious beliefs should have to hide them in public. That is unacceptable in a free nation.
[ In this day and age, why would you be stupid enough to use your religious beliefs as an excuse to deny someone services?

Let me cite an example from the 50’s-60’s.
In the south once STATE ENDORSED/FORCED RACIAL discrimination was ended Private Business discrimination virtually disappeared overnight as these businesses could no longer hide behind the skirt of the state, instead they had to live and die by the free market....
Word would get around and those businesses that discriminated due to race were indeed then just cutting off their nose to spite their face because they were limiting their own customer base, thus the “gods of the copybook headings” were allowed to rule once more.
True. It is the flip side of what they complain of...having to hide their “orientation”. If they are now out but another group feels they must hide then nothing has really changed. And this is the point...they seek to impose on others what they experienced.
