Someone has to list the scenarios where the law applies. In general transactions that are personal, should allow the proprietor to refuse service. Examples: relationship related photography, food preparation, art work.

Then the transactions where the law does not apply: banking, most food / beverage service, trades, employment, medical etc.

It’s one thing to be asked to not discriminate, it’s another being forced to celebrate something you despise.

The law should protect us from the latter.

What about the concept of being offended? Usually that empowers, but not in this case?

[[In general transactions that are personal, should allow the proprietor to refuse service. Examples: relationship related photography, food preparation, art work.]]

The rub will be that if these people have businesses on public land, then the left will scream that it’s discrimination

[[it’s another being forced to celebrate something you despise.]]

EXACTLY- imagine if all Americans were FORCED to practice islam because some court decided that by refusing to practice islam you were discriminating against those who practice it

[[What about the concept of being offended?]]

The constitution was set up to protect our RIGHTS’ it was NOT set up to protect our delicate sensibilities and delicate feelings (hence the RIGHT to free speech- we can say anything even if it is offensive- yes there are a few exceptions, but very few)
