Not really about hating gay people. It's about staying true to one's religious convictions.


You can believe that but you dont have a right to impose it on others.

You can be gay but you do not have the right to expect non-essential services to accommodate you if they hold sincerely-held religious beliefs against same-sex couples and relations, especially for a service like wedding videography that is just a glut. You have the right to patronise other businesses, and I'm sure there are others who would accept you.

So if a gay couple goes to a hotel they should have to wonder if it their reservation will be honored?

Unless they've prepaid or cannot reasonably find any other safe lodging, then yes.

There could be other options as well. A hotel could split the couple up in different rooms if they are uncomfortable with the couple sleeping together.

Indeed. So why should endorsing your religious belief be imposed on the photographer?

They should not have that right.

What business contract are they breaking?

I just told you that if the couple has pre-paid, then they should be expected to stay.

You make a reservation it should be honored

Why should they have the right to order them to sleep in separate rooms?

The photographer never entered into a contract though.

Also you almost always have a right to break a contract, just that you have to compensate the non breaching party for any damages they suffered.

A reservation is not a business contract lmao. A contract is binding by signature and legally enforcible. A reservation is not. If a skinhead walks into a hotel with a reservation, the hotel staff have every right to deny him service.

So a hotel should be able to deny a reservation on a whim?

As long as it's not paid or not an exclusive resort situation wherein a person cannot conceivably find shelter elsewhere, then they absolutely have the right to deny service.

Because it's their property and they have the right to set conditions as to how you can use their property. If they don't want two people in a room together, that's their right.

Hotels already are able to deny reservations, as are all other business that have reservations. They aren’t legally binding contracts.

Actually not all contracts require a signature. They require an offer, acceptance, and consideration.
If you pay a down payment with the reservation it is a contract.

But if you do not pay it probably is not a contract because you offered no consideration.

If they did that i think they would have grounds for a lawsuit and they would probably win in court?

In terms of down payments, you are incorrect. You only pay a downpayment when you sign the purchase contract, which stipulates what the down payment is.

A hotel rooms by their nature are not custom made for everyone staying the night. Even before nondiscrimination laws Hotels were covered as common carriers and were required to provide a legally valid reason to deny service.

However, I support making race and sex protected distinctions because no one can choose to not present as black and no one can choose not to present as a woman. You do not have to present as gay or as a gay couple. Doing so is your choice.


Why should they have that right?

Why should gay and lesbian couples have to hide the fact they are gay?


Discretion is the better part of valour. Visible queerness isn't a brave or intelligent way to behave in a world where shallow emotivism manifests in physically violent and even lethal reactions to perversity in public.
Witness the murder of Matthew Shepherd, murdered in a robbery by men whom he believed were 'picking him up' in a bar for a homosexual encounter. His open homosexuality was the factor in the gratuitous and terminal level of violence which was inflicted upon him.

What is visible queerness? All LGBT out to hide who they are because someone might do something?

What happened to Shepherd was horrible and as a result the hate crimes law was changed. Are you really going to use one example of despicable cruelty and hate as a reason all LGBT should remain closeted?

You must be the only homosexual who isn't familiar with the phrase, and since you're obviously a worldly man, I must suspect disingenuousness.
