“What they cannot do is operate a public accommodation that serves customers of one sexual orientation but not others.”


Why not? Does the constitution not protect their right to do exactly that? Do they not have a constitutionally protected right to do business with whomever they choose?

And if they can’t, solely because they gain their income through owning a business, does that mean they are only entitled to full constitutional freedom if they earn their income via wages? That seems to violate their constitutional rights.

This is all so very simple. According to the US constitution, you can do business with anyone you want, or refused to do business with anyone you want, for whatever reason.

Most “public accommodation” laws are blatantly unconstitutional. I wish there was a court in the U.S. with the b@lls to stand up and say so.

Not according to the current interpretation of the federal courts, and Congress.
