This is ridiculous, how do you know someone is gay? My friend and I have taken trips together and if we get a suite with a king bed for the same price as a regular room with 2 beds, we take the suite every time. What if they think we're lesbians? This is just stupid.
The Law gives the business owner discretion.
I do not believe that the typical business owner is going to refuse service to anyone unless he believes that the majority of patrons dislike whatever is it that you are doing.
Economics will prevent merchants from arbitrarily enforcing this right.
.
So give 'em the right to refuse service for french kissing in public. You can't make a law against something that you don't know unless they tell or show you.
The customers volunteered their relationship and wished for the shop to make their celebration cake. It was a religious decision on the shop owners part based on marriage. This has nothing to do with simply being gay.
The op title is a bit misleading :
Arizona Senate: Business owners can cite religion to refuse service to gays.
(I can't get the link to open, I could be mistaken on the case)
