Who's belief wins?

As an individual I can choose who I want to befriend, a gay, a jew, a human, a christian or a dog. As an individual I can also choose not to befriend one of those above due to whatever reason I choose.

As a business I, by law, can not choose. That is the issue.

Does a business have an ethic? If that ethic is derived from a particular viewpoint (for instance a Christian belief that being gay is morally wrong) should it be sued if it discriminates against a gay couple?

If I choose not to go to my local restuarant because it gave me the runs I don't try to sue it...I just go elsewhere where I am more likely to be treated better.

It is not equal to be able to say one person's level of discrimination is worse than someone else's.

People must be allowed their intolerances without being liable to be sued...they can be ostracised instead if one really feels the need.
