Well, at least you're honest. Would you like us to sit at the back of the bus?
Negative. Buses are state provided services and the state should discriminate. However, individuals should be free to discriminate.
If you want to kick me and my wife out of your privately owned and operated gay bar and grill.....you should be free to do so.
Okay fair point (the second one). If you take an exception to an individual you should have the right to refuse them service on any grounds, but that is very different from blanketly stating "No Gays Allowed". How would you feel if a shop you frequented and relied upon happened to be owned by a gay person and they started putting up signs saying "No Christians Allowed". You'd feel unfairly discriminated against, especially if you didn't believe you fitted the stereotype it was aimed at.
