perhaps, perhaps not. the thing is that no matter the legislation that is passed, you can't remove people's beliefs


Society can, however, remove the expression of those beliefs.

But, they should have the right to refuse the business and be judged in the court of free market and public opinion and nothing more.


Anyone who operates a business that accommodates the public must afford all of that public equal opportunity to avail themselves of the business' services.

I just refuse to believe the idea of the state dictating to people that they cannot practice their personal beliefs in business is best for our society. It is a very slippery slope that I think some people are too eager to go down.


What's slippery about equal rights?

it's slippery when the government tells me how to operate my land.

Look. I have a disdain for racists, homophobes ,etc. as much as anybody. I just think that the individual has the right to be one.
