These laws are to protect against discrimination on the basis of race, sexual orientation, religion and other characteristics that have been historically discriminated against. Why are people arguing against having laws that protect homosexuals/same sex couples from being discriminated against and being denied goods and services?

Since you used my verbiage, I figure ya must be yakking at me. I do not believe you 'grok' what I wrote.
I have trouble with your first paragraph. I can't believe you want the government's nose up your ass and in your business every moment. The government has no right what so ever to tell me how to run my business as long as I don't take government money and I pay
all my taxes (no tax breaks) (with normal exceptions of health and safety).
(ps.....I have a libertarian streak
