As a libertarian, how would you propose a society protects the rights and liberties of minorities? Serious question.
The rights and liberties of one man cannot trump the rights and liberties of another man.
If a store owner is a devout Christian man, and runs say, a mens clothing store, he should never be forced by law to hire a transexual woman to work there for fear of becoming a criminal.
One man or womans rights should NEVER trump someone elses.
We can all agree racism is wrong, and there needs to be protections in place to ensure that it continues to be eliminated from our society.
The issue voted on Tuesday however is an entirely different animal, while there needs to be protections in place. It needs to be examined and reworked to ensure fairness for EVERYONE. Not just those protected under its blanket.
