The law was too broadly written.Hows a law supposed to ban gays? unless I come in there wearing assless chaps and singing Lady Gaga how do you decide who is a homosexual?
But for the other ones coming up to pass in other states, they will be narrowed more to a situation where you are forcing someone else to practice gay cult values in violation of their faith. How they would "know" you are gay is if you are standing there asking them to make a gay wedding cake with two guys on top or two women. Or if you said "will you photograph me and my boyfriend getting married", or "will you cater my wedding to my husband"?
On those grounds christians are required to refuse to participate re: Jude 1 and Romans 1 and the warning of being sent to hell for eternity for enabling a Sodom like takeover of another culture.
I'd actually argue the opposite. The law was too narrowly written. The problem here is with the idea that government can force us to cater to other people against our will. Outside of enforcing contractual obligations, the state simply has no business micro-managing our personal decisions like this.
Exactly, the law should have been written to say that no business can be forced to accept any customer, there was no reason to focus on gay.
This whole thing amuses me because my business is in the Triangle of North Carolina by Duke and about 20 minutes from UNC. There is a strong liberal, gay culture to boycott businesses owned by vocal conservatives. They don't even have to be anti-gay, just vocally conservative. My VP of sales, who is gay, tells me about that all the time. She tells me who they boycott. Ironically one business they boycott is one of my larger vendors. I'm not hearing any objection to gays boycotting. I don't object, they have that right. I think it's silly, but they have the right to spend their money where they want. As for me, I accept only one color. Green. And I do business with anyone who has it who doesn't abuse my staff and who pays their bills reasonably on time.
