Refusing service because of political party.

[FatAndFaithless]

Just for some clarification - so you think a restaurant owner that turns away a gay person because the owner is "acting on his conscience" or "following his religious beliefs" should be illegal?

Turning away the person, because of ones intolerance I would agree (as I have said before). I think this also applies to political figures as well. However I do believe that one should be able to refuse a job that goes against their conscience.

By refusing a job, do you mean refusing to perform one's job?  Like if a restaurant owner said "I refuse to serve gay people."  He's technically not kicking them out, but he's making it impossible for them to actually make use of his services.
