So have I. I have also stated that private property rights don't always extend to public commerce, something you've refused to acknowledge.

you've argued that they aren't if someone's feelings are hurt

Never once have I mentioned someone's feelings.

Are you completely missing what's happening here? What if the person refused to let them rent the property for marriage because they were black? Would you tell that black person they can choose to get married someone else? That used to happen you know. People thought interracial marriage was against God's will.

What is so hard to understand?

Nothing on my end, but you seem to be completely missing everything. You can be discriminated against for being black. You can be discriminated against for being gay. Do you not agree with either of those sentences? Or are you just trying to ignore addressing anything I'm saying directly? I seriously have no idea at this point.
