No. They shouldn't have to be silent or be made to feel that they have to compromise their convictions for appeasement's sake.
They don't have to be silent, but if your going to spout off about not liking certain groups of people then expect people who disagree to spout off right back at you. Its strange, you don't want people to boycott businesses for the owners views but your perfectly fine with a business owner boycotting customers for their views.
Where did I say anything about not liking certain groups of people? Just because someone disagrees with gay marriage, i.e., doesn't mean that individual dislikes or hates gays, personally. My original point was, that if businesses, business owners, people of faith and anyone else who opposes gay marriage are being harassed, bullied, or boycotted, then turn about is fair play. I personally would support an organized effort to boycott businesses that I know who supports leftist causes and also to boycott businesses which bow to leftist pressure.
