so you think it's OK for the state to force people to provide services which conflict with their religion?

I don't think selling something to homosexuals violates ones religion. Can you imagine homosexuals refusing to do business with people in traditional marriages?

I don't consider homosexuals as married, whatever the government says. Is it any different than catering or providing services to a Halloween party?

“Can you imagine homosexuals refusing to do business with people in traditional marriages?”

Yes. Would it bother me? No.

Since when has homosexuality become some great human right? It was ILLEGAL thru the 60s.

Can a homosexual force a Christian school to take him in as a student? Can the Baptist Student Union be forced to allow homosexual members? Can a baker be forced to make cakes with “Praise Satan!” on them? If I ran a cleaning service, could I be forced to accept work cleaning a place of worship for Satanists?

Can I be forced by the government to violate my religious beliefs? There was a time the US Constitution said no...

They already do. There are hotels in key West which won’t allow straights to rent rooms.

Again, are you OK with the govt forcing people to sell services which are against their religion. Mind your own data business. If I want to do business with someone on is my choice, period.

“I don’t think selling something to homosexuals violates ones religion.”

Depends on what you’re selling. Forcing me to sell to any individual violates my freedoms. What power does the Federal Govt have to force me to provide a service to someone else?

“Is it any different than catering or providing services to a Halloween party?”

At the pride parades the gays display a great deal of nudity. They defecate and urinate on each other. They perform actual and simulated sex acts on each other. They celebrate perversion.

And you’d force someone who doesn’t want to participate in those activities to attend and support them? You certainly are not a conservative.

I’m surprised that you’ve been here since 1999.

Let them. Let people have the freedom to do business with whomever they please and refuse whomoever they please. The market works this out beautifully, and businesse who turn away customers pay a certain price for doing so. Government anti-discrmination laws means government controls you and your business.
