So I'm going to assume that No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service does not apply anymore either.

No outside food or beverage, no longhairs, no firearms...

signs signs everywhere there's signs

I guess I don't get why it's anyone's business whether you are gay or not??   How can they tell?

While I think these situations are stupid, hateful, and unfortunate, hate and stupidity are not illegal.

Now. . .I refuse to provide service or do business with stupid people.

I would draw the line at pants.

If you look at the bill as proposed, it makes no reference to gay marriage, LBGT, or anything that has to do with that life style, belief, orientation, or any reference to gay rights.

While you can interpret in a number of ways, it's not targeting anyone.

Also, the link is to the entire bill, it's two pages.

Ah, you mean those people who come into my shop in the evenings with a perplexed look on their face and saying something to the effect of... "Ok, so, this is the downtown of a metro of almost a million people, and your the only shop open!?"  Yeeeea, pretty much.

[dbacksfan 2.0]

Not the same thing.
The bartender told them to leave  (which would be protected by the AZ law)
I suggest that the bartender should let them stay...  just charge them extra.
Why turn away business when you could profit extra!

It's not? So I guess if I go into a LBGT bar, and get charged extra, and told that I'm not welcome because I'm hetero in an effort to discriminate and drive me away, based on the Oregon law that states you can't discriminate, I would not have a leg to stand on?

Good for Brewer. She veto'd it as being too broad a swipe at the rights of people. It painted with a four inch brush instead of a pinstripe brush. And I think she did it without thinking of the ramifications that it will cause in an election year. Screw the politics, it's about the rights of citizens.

You understand that logic was exactly what was attempted by segregationists, right?  It has already been decided that discrimination based on a general segment of the populace is illegal. 

No.

[rebound]

No.

Yes?  Help me out.  I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

I'm sure you are making money hand over fist at night then

You can discriminate against people who wear clothing.  It isn't illegal so your statement is false.  But it is the same argument the segregationists used.
