Personally, I think a business owner should be able to refuse service to anybody for any reason. As a business owner myself, I don’t ask who my clients are screwing. It isn’t any of my business.
I’ll bet you don’t share your freeper name as well...out of common courtesy, of course!
If someone was divorced because their spouse cheated, that person could marry again(not the former spouse) and not sin. I think the business owner was speaking of such open obvious immoral behavior from gay people occurring in front of him that he would not tolerate in his presence.
His shop, his rules.
Depends on who you listen to. Luke says no, Matthew says yes.

He made it clear in the article that his preference was for no gay people period. But as people have pointed out it's his store and his decision, and he's not breaking the law in any way.
Both are correct...but Matthew further clarifies...”except for sexual immorality”.
A man divorces a woman because of something other than her unchasteness, and marries another commits adultery. Who ever marries the divorced woman commits adultery....unless the man who divorced her has already married first there fore committing the adulterous act that broke the first marriage apart. If the wrongfully divorced woman had remained chaste until her ex had wrongfully married the second time, then the wronged woman is free to marry again. I think that’s why we see the clarification for “for sexual immorality” in Matthew. If the woman committed adultery and the husband divorces her, he is free to remarry and she needs to repent and be renewed. Adultery was seen as evil as the sin of witchcraft as it is rebellion against God’s order as it absolutely can destroy and bring death and destruction to a marriage.
There are no other real reasons acceptable to God for divorce and he has said “I hate divorce”. A woman can separate for her protection from an abusive man, but scripturally she can’t divorce him...just live chaste and separate from him.

We are left with two options. You are either ignorant in the facts of the matter or worse.
It is not an issue anymore to any large extent, but it existed and was strong until about 50 years ago.
Does acknowledging these facts mean that I am claiming victim status? No, but in my parent’s generation, discrimination against Jews in America was a fact of life.
Just because it wasn’t as bad a situation as in Europe doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
I was there today to support the Christian against the homosexuals. There was a protest scheduled for 12 till 2pm. The Christians had BBQ, music and even went and took food and bottles of water to the protestors. I and another vet were interviewed.
The gay supporters where a sorry bunch, mostly young girls (I think)
The Christian owner was supported by 50?, about the same size as the protest group. It was good to see COURAGEOUS CONSERVATISM STAND UP AND BE SUPPORTED.
URRRRAAAHHH
