Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this law singles out gays. In and of itself, that would likely render it as unconstitutional.
So, the law supposedly would allow people to deny service to people from a particular group due to sincerely held religious beliefs.
How about Christians denying service to Mormons because they see them as a cult?
How about Christians denying service to Jehovah's witnesses for similar reasons?
How about Christians denying service to Jews because they say they killed Jesus?
How about Muslims denying service to Christians?
Or Jews denying service to Muslims?
Or Muslims denying service to Jews?
If Christians want this law, will they be willing to accept the consequences if and when they THEMSELVES are discriminated against by people who claim they are simply exercising their sincerely held religious beliefs?
There is no way of the right denying who and what they really are.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
