Why do you want to frequent a place that pisses you off?

I do business all the time with people who piss me off. Getting away from the stupid bakery analogy: what if the only gas station for 40 miles is owned by a redneck who doesn't want to do business with the homosexual couple who inexplicably chose Mississippi to be their home? What if the only Subaru dealer in Jackson refuses to service Outbacks owned by lesbians?

This law is bad and I can't help but see the irony in those of you who support small government seeing nothing wrong with it.

This type of discrimination should be more cut and dry to decide on. The reason the bakery analogy comes up is because the baker was asked to provide a service for a gay wedding ceremony--something their religion specifically prohibits.

a gay couple buying a car for commuting doesn't infringe on someone's religious beliefs.

What if I live in a small town and the only car mechanic in town doesn't like my family and refuses to take my business?

What if a the owner of a maid service hates cats and decided that she does not want to clean any homes with cats. Should The government tell her that she has to clean homes with cats?

When the government starts telling private individuals who they must conduct business with, it's a problem.
