We are free to choose

Here are two different subjects, but I see a connection between them.
The first one concerns burning down the topless café. Some people agree with having a topless café, some people don’t. Whatever their opinions are, fine. A person has every right in the world to his own opinion. But, his rights stop where someone else’s  nose begins.If a person doesn’t like a topless café, don’t go there. But to burn the building down, no one has the right to do that.
Secondly: Gay marriage. If people feel their religion or other reasons don’t support gay marriage, or they believe a marriage is between one man and one woman, fine. Have marriage that way. If a church doesn’t want to marry gay people to each other, fine, it doesn’t have to. But this country was built on a framework, and one of the pieces of that framework was that church and state are separate — to allow people to worship as they choose. That also means that others are allowed to worship as they choose.
Again, an individual’s rights stop at another person’s nose.
