It's fucking retarded to not bake it but still, you are having a business and you can ruin it whatever the way you want to ruin it.
Where does that denial of services stop? It was once ok to deny blacks service, or force them to sit at the back of the bus.
The standard in denial of service is that it has to be universal and not discriminatory.
Where I live, if you open a retail store to the general public, you must serve the general public.
If you want to discriminate there are already legal ways to do so, basically not opening to the general public. Your business can be a membership or subscription based business. Or it can be open to invitation only. Or word of mouth only. Etc..
As far as I'm concerned, if you open a store to the public then (try to) deny service to a specific sector of the public, you are basically just grandstanding and yelling "Look at me exercising mah 'rights' for the Lord!"
