<blockquote>If that sounds overblown, consider the <a href="http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2013_14/measures/documents/hb2453_01_0000.pdf" target="_blank">bill itself</a>. When passed, the new law will allow any individual, group, or private business to refuse to serve gay couples if “it would be contrary to their sincerely held religious beliefs.” Private employers can continue to fire gay employees on account of their sexuality. Stores may deny gay couples goods and services because they are gay. Hotels can eject gay couples or deny them entry in the first place. Businesses that provide public accommodations—movie theaters, restaurants—can turn away gay couples at the door. And if a gay couple sues for discrimination, they won’t just lose; they’ll be forced to pay their opponent’s attorney’s fees. As I’ve <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2014/02/04/oregon_anti_gay_referendum_the_initiative_is_homophobic_segregation.html">noted before</a>, anti-gay businesses might as well put out signs alerting gay people that their business isn’t welcome.</blockquote>
