Quote:We're just drawing the line at a different point In the transaction. You guys are saying access is and should be protected but services can be exclusive or denyed base on personal belief. I'm ok with requiring equal access so long as the right to service remains with the party offering services.


So a bakery is a pretty easy example lets look at it Like this, as mechanic I should be forced to allow anyone access to my shop but should I also have the right to refuse to work on their vehicle based on personal belief? What if I just don't like them or the way they smell should I be able to say thanks but no thanks take you business somewhere else? Why or why not?

I don't think you should deny no. I think the best example is the one TJ gave. If you sell wedding cakes you sell the. If you don't sell cakes that say I heart Gay Weddigs then you don't sell those. If your toppers come in pairs of straight couples then you can either sell them none or two sets.


If you are a Jewish deli you can't not sell matza balls because you dislike the person but you also don't have to sell bacon because you don't sell bacon.


Does that put us on the same page?
