Playing by rules and regulations is part of the social contract, same as paying taxes which fund shared services like firemen, policemen, aqueducts which bring running water to your home, etc.

On the other hand, if she was invited to the wedding she would be free to refuse. But as a BUSINESS she can't refuse service to people based on their sexual orientation.

As for the straw-man argument of the "no shirt-no service", that's a dress code. Difference is that you CAN get service, you simply have to wear a shirt, something which you have power over, and why "you black - no service" is not because you can't change your skin cool.

Unless you're Michael Jackson of course
Bullshit. She is running PRIVATE venture and reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Ever see that on the door of 7-11 or a restaurant? Imagine some porn star in see thru shirt and ass hanging out of her daisy dukes in Chucke-E-Chees? She'll be shown where the door is pretty damn fast. Why stop at gay wedding? How about some swinger shit where every guest comes naked and bangs the bride later on.
