This is why I can tell people no, I won't read for them because they are hateful, etc.

It is not about denying someone service based on their bad behaviour.

We are talking about people being denied services for WHO and WHAT they are.

Being a bigot is a choice--being queer is not. For the most part, it is an immutable or ingrained characteristic.

The government does not make someone serve a customer because of poor behaviour; however, the government has decided that people must be served due to a host of other categories.

But some think that queer people should NOT be entitled to services based solely on an owner`s moral and religious objections...I just don`t see how it is different from any other already protected classes and I really can`t get on the same page as LGBT folks being compared to some customer`s shitty attitudes.
