If someone was divorced because their spouse cheated, that person could marry again(not the former spouse) and not sin.

Depends on who you listen to. Luke says no, Matthew says yes.

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.

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.
