In reply to the discussion: how are they going to know?? how are these business owners, etc, going to know who is gay? [View all]There's no law that can be written to prevent it from happening. If I'm a photographer or a cake maker and don't want to do work for someone I don't want to, then who's to stop me? I'd just call up the customer and say I'm going to have to cancel because of some personal issues which I have to deal with at that time. They have no right to demand I explain myself, nor does the State. I have a private life, sometimes things happen I have to address, and unfortunately that interferes with doing the photography/cake for this wedding.
