Earlier you guys asked why stop there, that's the problem with trying to legislate discrimination. Sure EVERYONE today just about agrees discrimination is wrong, but it's subjective to different people what is discrimination. For example is the existence of organizations that are race exclusive or gender exclusive discriminatory? Should it be illegal for a private owned business to refuse service to anyone?

 

Isn't it simply enough to say, public funding requires public access, but if a business or organization is privately owned and financed they are free to associate and do as they please. Why is that so controversial? Allowing something to exist for the protection of free association isn't the same as endorsing it. I understand that freedom of speech for example means I have to tolerate when people I disagree with practice it.

 

Mormons don't allow non-mormons into their temples, isn't that discrimination, shouldn't a Catholic be allowed equal access?
