Nope. We have public accommodation laws for a reason. As a conservative small business owner I understand that it is not a matter of "you can go elsewhere" it is a matter of not being discriminated against when nothing you are requesting is illegal or indecent. Mr. Phillips refused service based on his opinion that gay marriage is indecent- think how far that could go in terms of law abiding citizens being discriminated against on the whims and biases of businesses? It is not acceptable. If he wants to open a "cake club" where he only serves members that align with his beliefs, he may do that and incur the costs associated with it. Otherwise, he must provide the same services to all, especially protected classes. And that is not just my legal opinion, it is also my personal opinion. I have supported same sex rights all my life, that is where I differ from many (but not all by a long shot) Republicans. Many peers agree or Cruz would have been the candidate.
