What is the best analogy here in terms of race when compared to a gay wedding?

OK - Refuse service to a straight (or gay) person ordering a cake for a gay wedding. Discriminating against the event and not the person ordering it

WRONG - Refuse service to a gay person ordering a birthday cake. Obvious discrimination against the person

So is there an example of above using race that would be okay?

  • Refuse service for a wedding based on the fact its interracial? Is this OK/Wrong and is there a better example maybe? Something besides a wedding even.[/quote]

It should be legal to refuse service to anyone, for any reason. Who is not free to decide who and how he serves? A slave.[/quote]
What about the disabled? Should it be legal to not allow a blind person with a seeing eye dog to enter a business because you don’t like dogs?

A cashier to sell alcohol, tobacco a myriad of other drugs or services .

I never got why pot as a sacrament never took hold , I feel closer to God at that time . I have heard the same for LSD

Yes, it should be legal. It should be legal not only if you don’t like dogs, but also if you don’t want to serve a blind person. Nobody should be enslaved by anyone else-and if one legally must serve someone against his will, that is exactly what has happened to him.

What about a cashier that can not be fired because of her religious beliefs that worked for a liquor store

Just trying to show my libertarian friends how they helped the progressives win a cultural war, while increasing the benefactors of government.

  1. Libertarians forgot this was about STATE recognized marriage.

  2. They forgot this would impact freedom of religion and association
    a. Business/employment laws
