This is not about US vs. Canada and I don't see anyone beating down people's responses.

Julie,

You can tell the bigot no. That is a behaviour in which an owner can legitimately refuse service. It's like a person coming into a store w/o a shirt. It is a behaviour that an owner can legally refuse service.

Woo hoo!! I am protected and no confederate cupcakes!!!

Seriously though anything that would jeopardize equality for gay and transgender people is always going to have to take a backseat.
