SCOTUS Decision Not The End Of Fight For LGBT Community

No it is not intolerance, it is the truth. Religion is responsible for the following: Muslim extremism carrying out terrorist attacks, Christian extremism carrying out terrorist attacks (yes christians do it too: The Oklahoma City bombing and the Norway massacre were carried out by christian extremists), the killing of abortion clinic doctors & workers, the bombing of abortion clinics, the crusades, telling people in Africa not to use safe sex practices because it's against god - thereby letting AIDS spread, covering up child molestation, the conflict between Buddhists and Muslims in Southeast Asia, the persecution of gays, the subjection of women, using it as an excuse for enslavement of blacks, the mutilation of women (female circumcision), an excuse to kill people because they aren't part of the "right religion", the Spanish Inquisition, Thuggees (where devout Hindus would strangle people as sacrifices to gods), witch trails, the persecution of scientists in the Middle Ages, Aztec sacrifices, Roman persecution of Christians, the entire middle east conflict (if the Judaism, Christianity, and Islam didn't exist there would be no reason to fight over Israel), and arranged marriages

I stated my belief that I think religion is a cancer on society, but my belief doesn't hurt anyone. It might offend you but that's it. You are free to practice whatever religion you want in your own time just like I am free to not practice religion. That is not intolerance, it is and opinion. An opinion that I can back up with the evidence I just presented. Intolerance is what you describe and are for, turning away gay couples just because they are gay. In what world is that not discriminatory? We fought very hard to get the right to marry. Now we have a bunch of conservative legislators using religion to legalese discrimination, that is not American. I am a citizen of thjis country. It is my right as a citizen (and a human being for that matter) to go to a business and request a service without being turned away because of someone else's hate. That is wrong. You don't get the right to deny service to someone just because they are born that way. We long ago decided that discrimination based on the color of skin is wrong. Why would denial of service to gay people be right? Because of the person's "belief"? You are a public business and you have to serve the public.
