We are discussing discrimination. What exactly do you think gay people should to fix this on their own?
Go to places that accept their business. This is not like segregation. All straight people aren't telling homosexuals, "you can't eat here". They are quite in the minority of people actually. If they choose to do so, that is their right. It is our right to choose to do business with them or not.

First of all, this isn't a social issue, it's a civil one.
One that started with a social issue. It doesn't matter what you call it, or if you agree with it.

Secondly, we still wouldn't allow blacks to eat in the same restaurants as whites if it weren't for the government getting involved.
Segregation is not what is happening with this law. I do not understand how people fail to realize that. As referenced above.

It is codifying a law that allows a religious based premise to discriminate against a group of people in matters of commerce.

Not all places were "whites only" either. Those blacks could have went elsewhere that accepted their business. In fact, I'd venture to say that exact sentence was said thousands of times in the 1960's.

Segregation is one form of discrimination, and so is this law. But this law is a form of segregation , by definition.
