Provided they're a non-essential service like landscaping, they can choose not to serve whoever they please not to serve AFAIC. Of course, people unhappy with this policy should be equally free to organize a boycott. Why get the law and the courts involved when social disapproval is so much more devastating?Comment

As long politicians and judges are left out, it's all good.

Maybe, in hindsight, the landscapers shouldn't have been so truthful. They could have simply bidded a large price for their services, knowing that somebody else would underbid them."Every time I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself, 'What would Tom Cruise do?' Then I jump up and down on the couch." - Neil StraussComment

To protest against ignorance and bigotry does not mean that the business owners should not have their right to discriminate out of ignorance and bigotry.
They have every right to deny service to gays -- they can even choose to deny service to blacks or Hispanics and that would be perfectly fine in the legal sense.
But morally, this reeks of ignorance and bigotry.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment
