Right now you still have the right to refuse service as a private individual or business on the federal level. Some states have passed anti-discrimination laws for the LGBT community but it's not a federally protected minority class yet. I agree with you that it shouldn't be a protected minority class that people should be able to reserve the right to refuse service or association.


However I do find this a fascinating topic with you because I'm sure you support other anti-discriminatory laws. Why do you support anti-discrimination laws for some and not others? Your religious belief maybe that homosexuality is a sin and you should not condone or participate in anyway. Someone else's religious belief might be that black people are sinful and they shouldn't associate with them what's the difference?
 

The claim that people are refusing service to gay couples is a half-truth. In the case of bakeries, gay customers were not turned away. Anyone could buy anything in the store no matter what his/her sexual preference was. The customer could have bought a generic wedding cake with no trouble. The refusal was to make a special cake that celebrated a particular lifestyle that the baker disagreed with. How is that any different from refusing to bake a cake with a confederate flag on it?
