Just to play devils advocate...
You have a flower shop...
You have someone wanting to order table pieces... 100 of them, let's say...
They want the center pieces to have icons that you find offensive(insert the confederate flag or the swastica or some other sybol) as the main feature...
Do you take the order or do you refuse on principle?
If you refuse the order because it offends your principle or your belief system, then how can you deny someone else that right?
For me....
If I want the right to live my principles, then I have to extend the same privilage to someone who doesn't believe the same as I do...
UNLESS...
You take goverment money.... If you receive goverment money for your business... If you have a contract with my goverment, then you don't get to live your principles...
