discriminate against gay members of the public.

Ah, but if you think that's enough to stop the conspiracy theories about how the poor freedom-loving business owners are
this close to being carted off to jail, you haven't been paying attention. An important part of doing God's work in these United States is to lie thine ass off in an ongoing attempt to stir up panic among the rubes, and if you think that was a really rude way for me to phrase that you
