This country was founded by people who fled religious oppression.  People 
who wanted nothing more than to worship God as they chose.  The intent of 
the framers of the constitution should be respected.  Because the 
constitution bases itself on Judaic Christian beliefs.  The Torah plainly 
prohibits anyone from placing stumbling blocks before the blind.  Lack of 
service in a public establishment puts one such stumbling block before us. 
Thus making it unconstitutional not to serve us.  Because it contradicts the 
spirit of the constitution.  However, if a hotel owner believes it is an 
abomination for a man to lye with a man or women to lye with each other, as 
is expressed in both testaments, and if he stands steadfast in that belief. 
It is his duty, and is his responsibility not to serve such people by 
allowing them to share a room.  He might get around this, and still serve 
them as members of the public by offering to them adjoining rooms.  That 
way, his religious principles would remain in tact.  While he wouldn't be 
discriminating against them because they are a same sex couple.  On the 
other hand, don't such couples have an obligation to respect the 
sensibilities of bible believing people?  They would, if they understood 
obligations mean more than rights.  However, that concept is fast being 
forgotten in favor of personal selfishness.  Such a compromise is not as 
easily achieved for those who bake wedding cakes for same sex couples.  They 
must be left to stand on their principles.  What good is it to espouse 
Christianity if one isn't willing to take a stand for what Christians 
believe?  What seems to me to be good enough for the Christian martyrs ought 
to be good enough for us I say.
