...Intolerant puts it lightly for many of the posts I have been reading. I don't mean intolerant of Homosexuals. I mean intolerant of Christians or other beliefs that are different from theirs.
Freedom of religion entails freedom from religion. The 'intolerance' you are citing is in part about trying to protect everybody's right to believe what they want. My US side of the family is firmly Christian. I believe this law is a risk to them, because at some point the discrimination won't be about whether customers act in ways that are compatible with Christianity, but with the right sort of Christianity.
I live in Scottish town where you can't swing a stick without hitting a monument to people burned, stabbed, drowned, shot, starved, and/or hung because they were the wrong kind of Christians. We have relatively little of that in the US, and I think it best to keep it that way. This is not about intolerance to religion, but about civil rights and the stability of US society.
