Pushing Back
The gay mafia are going batshit craz(ier) over this one. That's what happens when you pushpushpushpushpush people: they eventually push back. Suck it up, leftoids.

While I get what this law is trying to address, I disagree with the premise of invoking "religious freedom" to protect the rights of a business. The basic issue is not one of practicing a religion but of free trade.
The correct principle to invoke should be freedom of association - a much overlooked Constitutional freedom, IMO. I would prefer a law that simply states that private businesses or individuals may not be legally compelled to provide services to any individual or group. Businesses should be free to decide who they do business with based on their own criteria, whether religious or otherwise. Discrimination against groups generally is not good for a business's bottom line, but let individual businesses bear the costs of their policies. If they want to discriminate against a group, then that group is free to take their business elsewhere.. or even (*gasp*) start their own.
Of course that would take away business from lawyers, who are generally the ones that write laws, so it will never happen.
How about a Constitutional amendment that lawyers can't be lawmakers? That would solve 98% of our problems right there...
I agree, but the religious angle will create more aneurisms in lefties, thus increasing the entertainment value.
Thomas Jefferson, who was a trained lawyer but preferred to make an honest living, actually recommended the inclusion of exactly what you suggest in the original Articles. The lawyers at the Convention shot it down, of course... Very much like Russia vetoing a UN vote to sanction Russia. Foxes and hen houses, as they say.
