Then I would assume it would be a lot easier to know which places were friendly towards LBGT. Or there may be reasons to want to leave such a small town.

Again, why is this law a bad thing? Don’t private businesses have the right to turn away customers anyway?

I’m not trying to stir the pot, as a straight male maybe I am not seeing the entire picture. As a Native Alaskan if I go into a business and get treated like shit, for any reason, I don’t go back.
