[on a mechanic refusing to serve gays]

if a good ole boy doesn't want a gay gallivanting around his garage while he puts in his stroker, drops in his pushrod, bolts on a blower or screws your nuts then he has a right to refuse service especially if the truck will be used in a gay wedding.

[He can't say "I don't serve black people here" and it works the same way with gay people. He's a moron]

No that is a protected class and skin color is not like gayness.

[But if it's ok to discriminate then maybe there should be no protected classes?

How can you stand for freedom and tell me it's not ok to discriminate based on religion or skin color?]

No there should be protected class but where you put your junk isn't one of them.

If where you put your junk is a protected class then ALL on the LGBTPQQ should be a protected class from fur players to denim dress wearing polys.

[yes we know. you are pro discrimination.]

No I am pro religious freedom. I am pro constitution.

[no. you're pro discrimination. the constitution has been amended many times. if all you're saying is you'll argee with anything that's currently in the constitution you're even more morally bankrupt than I thought.

200 years ago you'd be appealing to its authority to validate your opinion on why women didn't deserve to vote, and why black people should be slaves.]

Homosexuality is a behavior,not a gender or a skin color.Sexuality is far less innate than skin color. And since sexuality is not protected and religion is, a behavioral code that limits any assumed innate behavior based on deeply held religious conviction would and should trump that behavior on one's premises.

It is wrong to use the government to force a business to do certain things. One of them is to force them to allow certain behavior on their premises or create an expression that violates their free ex.

Now we agree on the existing protected class. I do not agree with sexuality being one.

[So your sexuality is a "behavior?"

How is Religion different from a "behavior?"

If we go by that standard, Religion shouldn't be a protected class either.]

Yes.

Religion is protected. Are you arguing that it shouldn't be a protected class?

[ I'm saying that if your definition of what constitutes a protected class is that anything that can be defined as a "Behavior" and not something you were born with should not qualify, then Religion does not qualify either.

You choose to follow a Religion. You choose to be religious. That's a behavior.

Do you also believe that gay people can be fixed through therapy?]

Yes religion is important enough to to be protected. Your sexual urges are not.
