The 1964 act is now in conflict with Christian principles. They are using it to force people to subjugate their Christianity to the latest immoral fads of the world.

The abuse of that act predicted by Barry Goldwater has now come to pass.

Much of the civil rights legislation was needed, particularly in regards to voter access and non-discrimination by public entities. The poison pill came in the non-discrimination provisions governing private transactions. For centuries, if not millennia, one commonly accepted provision of contract law was that no contract could be considered valid if any of the parties were coerced into entering the contract against their will. The civil rights legislation undid that. If an hotel owner is not willing to rent a room to somebody based on race, color, creed etc. they are now compelled to do so by force of law.
You and I may think he’s a rotten person, but the success or failure of his business should be left to the free market to decide. This compulsion to force people into contracts against their will (see “Obamacare”) has set a truly bad precedent and become a very steep, slippery slope.
