I sympathize with the owner's anger. He saw that group (correctly, I expect) as being representative of the people who have been fomenting hatred against him (and all gay people) all his life.  In his shoes, I might have reacted the same way.

That said, if those Christians wanted to follow up with a formal legal complaint, the law would be (and should be) on their side (simple religious discrimination).

probably not, this seems to be a political group in addition to being a christian group, public accomodations law does not extend to protecting political groups, they would probably have to prove that he has a record of refusing service to non-christians

Well, he didn't berate them on the basis of politics.

Heck, they weren't even discussing homosexuality so he went straight tangent.

As I have repeatedly said, I think most business have the basic right to be stupid and refuse to make money. However, if the law says otherwise, the dude should be in trouble for his actions.

I can't imagine most normal people getting so bent out of shape about poor service that they would sue for it unless it's for a grander purpose. Very few small business have stuff that is irreplaceable and Seattle probably has another coffee shop or two out there...
