If a shop refused to serve me for whatever reason, I don't think I should have the right to sue them, but rest assured I wouldn't step inside or buy anything from the same company ever again.
To be clear, my objection centered on the business owners (presumably) citing 'sincerely' held religious beliefs, and I am definitely calling bullshit on that claim. Additionally, 'sincerely' held beliefs would just about have to include prohibitions regarding serving Jews (no cake for Christ murderers!!), Protestants (if Catholic, else vice versa) atheists, and of course, 'heretics' in their own choice among the 40,000 possible Christian schisms.
Nononononono.
It's allegorical.
