Ah the ole "Let's all pretend we are being discriminated against as Christians to argue that we can discriminate against gay people" argument. Gotta love that one.

You can love it all you want. It's true.

Let me ask you this.

What if a city passed an ordinance that said "if you agree with gay marriage, you can't sell fruit here?"

You would , OF COURSE, say that city is discriminating against people who don't share their religious beliefs, and you would be RIGHT. because thanks to SCOTUS no government in the US can discriminate based on religion. Unfortunately for you that doesn't just mean those who don't have any religious beliefs can't be forced to accept a religion to get benefits from the government (in this case the benefit of selling fruit at a farmer's market), it also means that those who have religious beliefs can't be forced to surrender them in order to get benefits from the government.
