    Here's another way to look at this case

    Christians who own a business have no final say in how it's run inline with their beliefs.
    So can Chic-Fil-a legally close on Sundays if a customer wants a sandwich, if a homosexual wants a lemonade?
    Can A local Roman Catholic pharmacy owner refuse to carry morning after pills?
    Can A Muslim bookstore owner refuse to order anti-Muslim books or Porno for anyone even homosexual customers?
    Can a Jewish deli owner refuse to sell pork to customers or even homosexual customers with a sausage fetish?
    Are they all bigots and "breaking equal access/service laws" if they do?

    THEY ARE ALL CLEARLY BUSINESSES.

    Please explain the differences here. I see none.
    All are Private Businesses with Religious owners who refuse to serve certain customers request for religious reasons.
    period. All significant points legal and otherwise exactly the same.

    If one is discriminatory, then they all are.
    By some people's standards they all must be ordained and take their "businesses" INSIDE the Church/Mosque/Temple or be in violation of the law.
    And be considered religious bigots of course.

    Only one is refusing to engage in a business that they normally would engage in. Guess which one. Should they be able to refuse? Sure, but the law is what is in question.

    And I had to laugh at "sausage fetish."

    All are engaging in a business they normally would engage in
    Chic-fil-a sells sandwiches --- just not on Sundays
    Roman Catholic Pharmacist sell drugs --- just not THAT drug.
    Muslim Bookstore owners sell books and DVDs --- just not THOSE books and DVDs
    Jewish Deli owners sells meats --- just not THAT kinda meat.
    Wedding chapel owner does weddings --- just not THAT kinda wedding.

    Each is concerned with a certain type or specific detail laid out in their faith.

    What is your distinction again?
