> The issue is that, if your business is considered a “public accommodation”, you may be prohibited by law from discriminating based on “protected classes”. Sexual orientation is not one of those classes under federal law, but it is under many state laws.

But, did the wedding facility owners and the cake bakers discriminate against persons or did they discriminate against products?

Must a bakery sell car batteries to a homosexual person? Can a baker refuse to sell car batteries to a homosexual person? A heterosexual person?

Homosexual marriage, if you can call it that, I can’t, is a direct offense against society, and should never, never be allowed.

They make the police agree with the looting in Ferguson and they make the police agree with the gays in attacking traditional families.

It is all part of the plan of appeasement of terrorists in order to deflect police state occupation and corruption inquiries.

The courts have ruled several times that refusing the normal services you would provide anyone else is violating those laws. So, no they wouldn’t have to sell him a car battery, as they don’t sell anyone a car battery.
