I really do believe that someone who is a private business owner should be able completely in accordance with his conscience within the reasonable limits set out by the law, and the constitution.
However, I also completely support consumers boycotting the services of this business owner, and ruining him completely.
In my view, liberal society is a far better regulator of social mores or manners than government.

I have a hard time coming up with a more demonstrable example of that then constituents in a politicians riding instructing him to bar a bigoted restaurant establishment to open in their community.
Government responding to the will of society.
That's how things are supposed to work, right?
