Quote:Put aside what groups are protected and what groups are not, I'm just looking at the ability to provide such protection. When conducting business it's an exchange between two parties, how can you force a party to make an exchange with a party they wish not to exchange with? That's the argument, HOW can you force participation, and what has to be sacrificed to force said participation.

 

The same concept extends to all discrimination laws, it's different to argue public funding requires equal access. Everyone is paying so everyone has to be given access. But to argue private parties regardless of their desire must grant equal access to all is completely different. Now you're ranking rights, person A's right to access trumps person B's right to free association or private property.

You can gussy it up but it's still discrimination.

 

How can you force it? Lawsuits. Don't want to serve everyone because you are a sexist or a racist or a bigot? Do not get into business. You should only want to make money that's the point of business no? Legally allowing people to discriminate while conducting business kind of goes against everything this country stands for. 

 

You are arguing that discrimination in business is a right. I am arguing there is no place for it in society and people need to be dragged kicking and screaming in the modern world where it is not acceptable to the overwhelming majority of people.
