They cannot be prosecuted for stating their opposition to giving a room to a Gay couple, but they most certainly can be prosecuted for declining to give a room to a Gay couple based on this opposition. The harassment provisions would have made a simple statement of opposition a prosecutable offense, even if the goods and services were forthcoming. |
