The people who own businesses that are being hijacked by same-sex couples and their liberal allies, the wedding photographers, the cake makers, and the like, have never said “no gays”. They have said that they cannot be enablers for morally repugnant behavior. They have objected to circumstances that not only chill but destroy free expression and free association. They also say that they thought slavery ended in the late 1800’s.

But this is not about getting all wedding photographers and cake makers to be happy to accept gay customers. This is a “two-fer” with gays: they get to rub their personal choices in the faces of people who find them repugnant and they get to destroy marriage as an institution.

Because government is no longer willing to defend marriage as God defines it, it is time to return marriage to the private sphere where it came from and always really belonged. Gays can get married but will not be able to force others to approve of it, and will not be able to force others into slavery to serve and enable their sinful actions. If liberals demand that we remove the Ten Commandments from government, they cannot attempt to cling to marriage in an attempt to destroy it. If we must have separation of church and state, let us also have a separation of marriage and state.

Well, I do not think that God will allow Sodom to exist in the midst of the USA whether the government’s involved or not.

There were bars in the 60s and 70s that didn't want gays harassing the customers.

There are still gay-only bars. And they make special effort to humiliate any outsiders (one in Houston famously made any guy entering surrender his underwear).

The double-standard exists.
