Gays get protection under the constitution, which is fine with me. I think they should have the same rights as everyone else. I'm all for it.
I think that faith-based business deserves that same right and protection under the constitution.
My brother in law manages a pizza place. He was telling me that they stopped delivering to a bad neighborhood after 7:30pm. Are the people in that neighborhood being discriminated against?
