I already addressed that specific point
but just in case clicking that link is too much effort, and by the strenght of your arguments it clearly is, here is the gist of it:

So you see, even though she's running a "
private business!" she can't simply pick and choose which rules and regulations she's going to follow.
Just like YOU or I can't.
For example, you could say "fuck taxes, gubirmint spending MAH MONEE letting fags and dykes marry ruining strait marrege's holeeness" but the law specifies that one must pay taxes and if you disregard the law then there are consequences to that.
This has nothing to do with personal beliefs, it has to do with THE LAW. You run a business, you have to follow certain rules. And anti-discriminatory regulations are part of those rules.
And as I also posted, her mistake was lacking business sense and telling those people "I can't do your wedding because you fags" instead of "I can't do your wedding because I'm already booked".
This is basic business sense.
I have turned down clients that set-off my internal alarms not by saying "I can't take you as a client because you're fucking nuts, don't know what the fuck you want and I can tell you're gonna fuck me over when it comes time to pay so get the fuck outta my sight you're wasting my time".
Instead I say "I'm very sorry, my schedule is full and although I'd love to work on your wonderful project I simply can't. Thank you for having thought of me and have a marvelous day".
Please feel free to use that one next time the gays come asking you to shoot their wedding
