Yes, and create one big one. Unless you see the solution as starting all over again. Reset. That may happen in spite of whatever we may desire.

We're not going to go back to segregated lunch counters, no matter what. But by restoring to businesses the ability to decide who they will interact with, without fear of lawsuit, we will eliminate the profit incentive of the Perpetually Aggrieved in going to businesses in the hopes of finding a way to file a discrimination lawsuit.

If the laws need tweaking, I’m fine with their being tweaked. There are many “religions” in the world, however, and if we start getting into the fine points of who can refuse what to whom for what reason, there will be no end to it. We could be in for some nasty surprises, as well.

The principle should be nondiscrimination, not a total eradication of the concept that a business is a semi-public entity. Unfortunately, there has been such a complete destruction of the concept of community standards that something like that would probably never hold up in court again.

And I've stated in a previous post, which bears repeating, the LGBTwhatever community prides itself on being well-educated and as a demographic tends to be fairly well-off financially, if they don't like being turned away by Christians, with sincere, deeply held beliefs, why don't they start their own gay-friendly businesses? Turn lemons into lemonade. Free enterprise still means something.
