What if the business owners didn't want to pay towards marriage benefits for blacks or for Muslims or for disabled people. Would you then say "get over it or not hire blacks"? That makes it sound like not hiring gays because you don't like homosexuality is an acceptable option. To me it isn't. That would be pure and blatant homophobia and discrimination.
If you don't want to hire gay people because they may marry then give yourself a good hard slap and get over your prejudices.

Please note that I personally don't hold these biases (I'm for the gay marriage).
I believe a privately owned and run business should be able to hire whoever it wants to hire with no intervention from the government. A good businessman will hire the most qualified person, not everyone is like this but oh well, nothing you can do about it.
But a private business like a private club should be allowed to hire or "admit" whoever it feels like. Sure it might be wrong to say "we're not going to let you in because you are black, white, hispanic, etc" but that's the individual group's choice.

I agree 100% but it should not be the government's job to administer the slap.
