Denying gay marriage is just savage. people just don't wan't it because of religion purposes, but if you like to be gay and marry another guy it's legal. It does nothing to the people who only is around of those 2 guys.
So Denying gay marriage is not good.

So follow that command and be at peace with the rest of the world.
If a devout Christian issues a marriage license to a same sex couple, the consequences are far beyond that of "interfering with someone's diet." To someone who does not understand or follow that person's religious beliefs, it may seem like a petty thing to do, but to them there are severe moral, social, and religious conflicts and repercussions.
The issue lies within the United State's current business laws. You're allowed to refuse service if it would hinder your ability to provide service or negatively effect your business, but you are not allowed to deny service based on the characteristics of the possible customers.
I personally believe that any business owner should have the right to deny service to anyone for any reason. Sure they will lose a sale, and possibly other sales because of their choice, but that should be the only punishment they receive as a result.

"These damn niggers and fags ain't buying none of my shit. Ill just tell those dirty queers and coons to get the fuck out of my store. AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE!"
Seriously, you want to give legal rights for someone to discriminate others? I understand where you're coming from sure. But just take a step back and put yourself in a black/gay/trans etcetc. persons shoes for a second. Imagine having to be afraid of going to a fucking grocery store, because the owner might randomly just tell you to go fuck yourself because of the color of your skin, sexual identity or any other "random" factor. Laws are not only to punish criminals, they are also to protect people, and ethnic/sexual minorities need most protection in the current world we live in.
I agree to that idea IN THEORY, but since we live in such a messed up world with bigoted and horrible people. Sometimes you have to set theory aside for the greater good of people.

"Cant tell a black guy to go to another store because I'm racist.
I'm such a victim"
Discriminating others is not a right........
I think being equally treated in the economy is a right tho.
I don't know how old you are (if you've ever had to work), but in the real world, especially work life. You have some dos and donts that are out of your control. Your work/goverment provides you with certain things (healthcare, money, protection etcetc.) and you agree to act in a way that is befeficial for the society/employer. And one of those things is not being a bigoted cunt. What if the police, doctor or a drugstore clerk could go "Im not protecting/selling meds to that nigger, let him get killed." The issue is basically the same in principle.
