Just as if I didn't allow people to wear shoes in my house on my lovely carpet doesn't mean I don't agree with shoes. :joker:

There's plenty of stuff that came out of the Bible that religions have dropped already because it's so out of step with modern society already.

Can't they just live and let live, respect each other's beliefs and lifestyle and not burden the rest of us with a storm in a teacup, hmmm?

Some people are never going to welcome gay people with open arms.

That would be personal and nothing to do with religious observance though.

Nobody is asking anybody to like gay people or gay lifestyle. :umm2: All they have to do is stop being discriminatory to potential customers.
