Can businesses hang a “No Christians” sign on the door?
A private business? Yes. If a Muslim runs a restaurant and does not wish to serve me, I’ll go elsewhere. If a Hindu runs a juice bar and does not wish to serve me, I have no right to compel him to do so with force.
It is BASIC liberty to have the freedom to refuse to provide a product or service.
No. Religion, race, sex and national origin are protected classes under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (Sexual orientation is not protected under federal law, but is under the laws of some states.)
“Can businesses hang a “No Christians” sign on the door?”
I would certainly hope so, since it’s called freedom of association or just plain freedom. The Supreme Court likely disagrees, but they don’t exactly have a very good record of protecting constitutional rights beyond abortion (which isn’t really a constitutional right in the first place, but they claim it is and act as though it’s the SUPREME right).
BTW, I’m a Christian, and I have no problem with anti-Christian bigots who don’t want my business. I’ll simply take that business elsewhere. That’s what people do in a free country. Liberty gets messy of course. Some people might even get offended, but freedom is worth a bit of offense from time to time.
Also, the constitution was written to restrain GOVERNMENT, not private citizens; therefore, the government is absolutely prohibited from showing favoritism or discriminating against anyone on the basis of constitutionally protected differences like race, sex, or religion.
Those prohibitions were never intended to apply to private citizens conducting business on their own property of course. Your rights do not give you the right to force me to associate with you on my property.
No. Only government is allowed to do that.
If the law passed? Yes. Unless they write it to only protect Christian Kansas.
Not yet—but they can send their private army Either the gay activists —or the ACLU and it’s umbrella of anti-American activists in to threaten a long and costly legal case where the Christian can expect to go before a hostile and anti-Christian Judge.
