So at no point has everyone ever been really free and it was unjust but now it's ok because the group being limited is one you don't like.
Got it.
Used to be that an idea touted by both sides was "I may not agree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it."
No more, now it's all about offended classes on both sides. Power no longer is found in the Constitution but in some contrived "right to not be offended".
Fact is, if I'm in business for myself I should be able to refuse service for whatever reason I like, and as a consumer I should be free to spend or not spend as I see fit.
The gov't has no business telling citizens who they have to do business with. That's for business owners and the market to decide.
Have no idea whose ass you pulled that from but it needs to go back...stat!
So, to be clear, you (and others on here) believe any business should be free to discriminate against anyone they choose, anytime...correct? So you are saying that a man has no right to run his business as he sees fit and refuse service to anyone he pleases to? So the government should have the right and power to tell you how to run your own place of business?
If you operate certain types of businesses, there are certain regulations that must be followed.
They knew that going in.
You cannot pick and choose customers without a valid reason that applies to everyone.
This isn't rocket science.
Refusing service to a person because it violates your religious doctrine, thereby your freedom of religion IS valid. The validity of gays being a protected class, on the same plane as race and gender, is based on the scientific evidence that homosexuality is a proven genetic trait. The only problem is that there isn't any. It's a political lever. That's it. That's not rocket science either. It's either a choice, or it isnt. There is no proof that it is anything BUT a choice. That is not popular with the cool people, but that is the truth.
