And why would a gay person want to be served by a business which has a discriminatory attitude towards them? Sounds like both sides are assholes.

I agree but it's a slippery slope, as we've seen, this leads to "religious" nurses & doctors refusing to treat Gay patients, teachers refusing to teach Gay children and children of Gay parents.
Then it leads to "religious" christian nurses & doctors refusing to treat muslim patients, etc. etc.
The sad thing is religious institutions don't pay taxes so they're emboldened and empowered by their hate financially. The government should not be subsidizing religious hate they should pay taxes like everybody else.
People hiding behind religion to justify hate, bigotry and discrimination is a big issue in America unfortunately.
