No. As I said, I would support a gay bar if it refused service to apparently heterosexual couples and asked them to leave.
I suppose I have some libertarian leanings.
If you support equality for gays, that is not the way the argument works. Religious bigotry has been the social norm, heterosexuals are not the ones who are the minorities who have had a history of gays denying them service. This is about human rights. Either you are for equal protection under the law or you are justifying treating others as second class citizens.
