However, the Katzenbach, the diner owners had no leg to stand on for their discrimination, there is no federally protected right to deny service to people.
Does one have a federally protected right to a good or service in commerce? Seems like we discriminate in such a fashion all the time.

casinos are not happy bout it. My neighbor has a lot of family (shes from Biloxi) working at the casinos in Biloxi and said a good number of people in the past couple weeks have cancelled reservations and some performers are cancelling as well. Also I see where a huge Nissan boycott is starting for their vehicles made in North Mississippi.

None.
Except the concept seems pretty fricking stupid. I'd allow whatever wants to serve to do so, so long as they aren't detrimental. This is just extramental, or exmental...perhaps demental.
Dumb.

Not shocking from Bryant who spent $5.70 per vote for re-election last year on his campaign and his challenger spent less than 1 CENT per vote... let that sink in and marinate a little.

Don't see a problem with it. Never understood why a private business doesn't have the right of refusal anyway.

MS receives $2.50 in fed monies for every $1 they pay in.

Finally, the voice of reason emerges:
“We do not discriminate, period."
Way to go hometown. Screw those frickers north of I-10.

I think if they're going to deny gays based on their religion, they better start denying if they're divorced, if they're adulterers, etc
But they won't. Because this isn't about religious objections. It's about gay hate.
These people can't even be intellectually honest about it.

Singling out specific groups is wrong though
It should be all or nothing
Lots of contradiction here.

it's 2016 and there are still plenty of hicks who believe being gay is a choice.
Mind-boggling....

If I were gay the last place I'd want to live, or visit, in the US would be Mississippi. Regardless of this law.

But, at the same time, you couldn't really say that about the clerk in Kentucky given the fact that gay marriage was illegal when she took the job.
True, but she ran in 2014 when the issue was already on its way through the courts. She had to know it was a possibility.

Yup! No shirt, No shoes, No service no longer means anything. If the other states would grow a pair and stand up to the SJWs this would be a better nation.

Very excellent point.
Funny how people pick and choose what parts of "Christianity" they care to believe in or enforce.
I take it the shelled fish restaurants will be most hypocritical here when the bible states that eating shelled fish is a sin as is being gay.

Changing marriage laws? Totally agree.
I seriously want to hear a logical argument that suggests that CONSTITUTIONALLY defines what marriage should be. I am not gay, but I like to think I'm a TRUE conservative. As such, the government should not use religious indignation to tell us how to live. It should be up to your church to bless a marriage and I fail to see how a couple gay marriages does any harm to you or yours.
Someone please tell me how this came to be, "the very party that wants the government out of their lives, are the very people who want to morally regulate how others live?"
If you are a true conservative, you should never, even remotely, think that the government should be involved in religious morality. Freedom of speech and religion should be just as paramount as your right to bear arms and freedom of the press. How so many people let themselves get pulled in to believing that gay marriage should be as big an issue as our national debt tells me that our politicians aren't the problem, we are..

Lawyers tie up money in defense and prosecution, knowing it'll get smacked down in the process... this is just good ole southern reparation bullshite politics in order to line the pockets of the few by the working man.
To have laws on the subject is pretty stupid in the first place. If you want open a bakery that only serves straight white men, you should be able to do it. However, you should also be forced to suffer the consequences. The free market doesn't need these kinds of laws.
This country needs a revolution. Perhaps that's why the jihadis hate us. We are supposed to be a beacon of freedom, and we are sorely missing our aim.

Why do so many people give a shite what people do in their homes when it doesn't affect them?
It's fricking ridiculous.
