    because you seem to keep insisting on being wrong.
    no, you can't as I and numerous others have provided the law which specifically states you can't.
    nope. has nothing to do with telling them why they are being denied.

    The dolphins say nothing about gay sex.
    The lions also is bunk:
    https://www.livescience.com/60910-gay-lions-not-quite.html
    There are zero examples of male bisons having sex with one another. Mistakenly mounting a male and then stopping isn’t about homosexuality. The bison isn’t looking at the other male bison and saying “man he’s hot id like to have sex with him” lol

    The same is true for every single one of these examples. First of all ZERO of them claim that males actually penetrate one another in gay sex. Second of all the only “lesbian” activity we see is within social groups for bonding which almost EXCLUSIVELY occurs during grooming. They’re not engaging in pleasurable sex lol

    Homosexual sex for pleasure is exclusively the realm of humans.

    Yeah we don’t rent our homes to liberals either. Never had an eviction or any real issues. Works out great.

    So mounting another lion of the same sex is not homosexual behavior. :)

    He is saying you physically can deny these people service, which is true — you just have to lie about the reasoning and not get caught.

    It is still illegal, they just don’t care.

    Numerous bird species do this, lifetime bonding with a member of the same sex. It is all irrelevant though as we do not base our behavior on that of animals.

    It does prove that it is natural however.

    Private property law changes the moment it is open to the public. A business owner does not need to give a reason for it to be obvious, especially when lawyers get involved. It cannot be considered a right if doing so subjects the business owner to extortion. My position is one of fairness. Either protect all or none. Giving certain people protection creates a "preferred citizen" double standard.

    Nah it depends why you denied service. You can have a “no shirt no service sign”, you can’t have a “no Mexicans” sign.

    It’s not about certain people, it’s about certain things being protected. You can’t discriminate based on certain protected things, like race (all races), or sexuality (including being straight).

    Did you read the link? Mounting is a dominant behavior. It’s not a sexual behavior because they’re not having sex lol

    Are you asking for evidence of sexual attraction in animals?

    You asked for “Provide ONE example of a male animal penetrating another male animal voluntarily.

    It doesn’t exist. Anywhere in the animal kingdom outside of humans. Period. If it does, provide the source.”

    I supplied you one. There are numerous examples in the animal kingdom where there are exclusive same sex pairings.

    Does “sexual attraction” exist at all in animals? No

    You did not provide one lol. Nowhere does it say those penguins had sex. It says they pair bonded. This usually occurs because of a limited number of or a lack of access to members of the opposite sex. This is a behavior we see all over the animal kingdom.

    What we do NOT see are two males having sex with one another. The ONLY examples we have of this are examples of what we would call rape within certain groups of monkeys. But this isn’t mutually desired sex. This is one animal holding the other down and forcefully dominating him using sexual behavior. There are none... count them... ZERO examples outside of humans of two male animals having consensual sex where they actually penetrate one another... in the ENTIRE recorded history of mankind might I remind you.

    Unless, of course, you enjoy preferred citizenship. Religious people enjoy legal protection from discrimination while using their religion to discriminate against others. That is a double standard.

    They are a mating pair. There are literally hundreds of articles on these two specific penguins.

    They have had access to females.

    Here is a concise listing including rams which have about 10% of the male population that exclusively mate with other males (they ignore females)
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals

    You know what doesn’t appear in animals, religion.
    Almost like we don’t take cues on how to behave from animals.

    Next you will be saying I have never seen an animal same sex mating couple marry each other so we shouldn’t allow same sex human couples to do so either.

    This is so transparent it is kind of humorous

    A religious person can refuse to bake a cake for someone because they are homosexual but a homosexual cannot refuse to bake a cake because of someone’s religion.

    Which is completely unjust

    Sure. A Christian enjoys legal protection from discrimination. That same Christian can use their religion to discriminate against others. That is a double standard.
