Re: Michigan Car Repair Shop Owner Says He Will Turn Away Openly Gay Customers ... An
Jerry, whether going into a business is a choice or not has no bearing on whether that business should be allowed to discriminate. You can't be discriminated against because you're a Christian. That's a choice you've made and yet society has decided it is a protected class. Society has also decided not to discriminate based on race. It's now time to extend the same rights, privileges and benefits we have to other people regardless of whether being gay is a choice or something you're born with. If you don't like it, you can seclude yourself in your home and never own a business.

Going to that business is absolutely a choice, which means you have no argument.
