And you need to grow up and learn the difference between socialism and democracy.

You act as though it is impossible for the latter to vote itself into a least a perverted version of the former. You don't believe these people should be allowed to exert ownership control over property they own and operate a business they own upon. You clearly believe that society should have more say in how they operate than they should as the actual owners. You don't believe they should be even allowed to do business with people they choose to do business with, that is up to society to decide too. How is that not a socialist viewpoint? Your opinion seems to stop just shy of full-blown socialism, but it is certainly not in line with the views this country was built upon. I'll stick with my "perverted socialism" term, until you present a better option.

Gays marrying violates the owner's religious beliefs, the government should not be trying to force them to give up their freedom of religion solely so some gays don't have hurt feelings. This is massive overstep, IMO, and kowtowing to the gay agenda.
