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.
I would be happy the the shop owner was exercising his God given right of self determination. Because I am a theist, I face discrimination on this very forum.
You don't face discrimination on the forum because you are a theist; you don't actually face discrimination at all here. No one judges you based on your age, sex, or race (or even your religious beliefs which I'll... loosely add into the definition), rather we judge you based on your strawmen and your attitude, as well as the willful ignorance and cognitive dissonance you espouse with almost every opinion you express. Reactions are from people generally disliking what most of us perceive to be your ridiculous opinions; not discrimination.

Other than the times you've been, officially or unofficially, warned, when have you ever worried about being "kicked off"? Who is even saying that? Just because I, for one, think your opinions are horrible, I wouldn't gun for your removal unless you expressly broke the rules, and as you know, you've been around the block a few times.
