Quote:Discrimination is going to happen in a free market, there's no denying it. To what level is the debate, but in your example yes if a privately owned pizzeria where religious and found homosexuality unacceptable they should have the right to refuse service. I'd argue they have that right regardless of religion, if they just simply don't like the color of their pants, it's their choice.

And that is the fundamental difference in our world views. I think making discrimination illegal is not only the right thing to do but should be the goal of an advanced and enlightened society. Putting everyone on equal footing is in mind, the basis for an ideal society. If every is on equal footing at it's basic level then hard work and perseverance can truly amount to something. 

 

As a bonus, everyone would be happier if they stopped hating people for silly reasons.
