[HEADING=1]Warning: I do not agree with the beliefs expressed by the owner. I am all for marriage equality[/HEADING]
Can I jump in here? From what I read, the owner never actually said he was anti-gay. He said that he believes marriage should be for straight couples and that gay marriage is against his religion. Before anyone calls him a bigot (though I am a bit late on this regard) the definition of "bigot" and "bigotry" are below.
Anyone calling this man a bigot for believing that part of his religion be kept "sacred" is the bigot. Whether you believe in this religion or not, if you are going to be intolerant of it you are the bigot.
