Actually, it may be your business, but unless your business owns its own well, barters, has its own generator and is not connected to the road system in any way, you’re using the public’s infrastructure to discriminate against certain sectors of the public for no other reason than they’re different.

How is it fair to me, a private citizen that I am subsidizing somebody banning my religious, ethnic or racial group when my tax dollars make it possible that this business is easily accessible and has all the amenities it has?

A businessman should be able to choose his customers, just as a customer ought to be able to choose a business.

If I want to rent out part of my home as an apartment, for example, I shouldn’t be forced to rent to anyone at all. The fact that the law now requires that is why I will never have an apartment in my house.

“for no other reason than they’re different.”

How about because they violate what I believe are God’s laws?

Should a wedding photographer be forced to support gay marriages? Should I be forced to rent property to someone I think won’t be able to pay, and who I think will likely damage the property?

Let me adjust your statement slightly:

“Actually, it may be your [home], but unless your [home] owns its own well, barters, has its own generator and is not connected to the road system in any way, you’re using the public’s infrastructure to discriminate against certain sectors of the public for no other reason than they’re different.”

Sounds like justification for not allowing me to believe what I want in my own home...
