A new poll released in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling in favor of anti-gay baker Jack Phillips:



reveals that most Americans oppose businesses that refuse to serve gay people.

Reuters reports:

In the poll, 72 percent of respondents said business owners, because of their religious beliefs, should not be allowed to refuse to serve customers based on sexual orientation, while 14 percent said they do have that right. Another 9 percent said businesses have the right only in certain circumstances and 6 percent said they do not know.

Like other recent surveys of American adults, the Reuters/Ipsos poll also found that the number of Americans who support gay marriage has increased in recent years.

Not really surprising.

Anti-gay people are dying out, most of whom are old religious nuts.

What do you think, CE?

They have every right to refuse them. If their religion is against it so be it.

That being said, everyone else is free to boycott them and not go there, thus putting them out of business in response.

Gays > Stupid people who hold embarrassing, archaic beliefs

Gay guys know how to spend bank, I wouldn't even want to lose customers like that.

You do realise that polls on LGBT issues have consistently attracted more attention from those who are pro-LGBT than those who are anti- or don't care, right?

The people who are anti (or even more so, those who don't really care that much either way) don't tend to bother responding or seeking out these polls in the first place.

It's the same kind of reasons why opinion polls completely missed the mark when trying to predict the 2016 election - because Democrat voters are also more likely to seek out and answer such polls.

(Not saying it's right to be anti-LGBT. Just saying that this poll is very unlikely to be a reliable source on how many people are or aren't.)

People who dislike gays suck. I'm glad they are fading.

They literally don't. And they won't have the right to refuse trans people much longer if things go well.

Less kids to feed/clothe/educate = more money for frivolous spending.

All of a sudden religious freedom doesn't matter to conservatives? Such a mystery.
