This is what we get for not fighting for the right of free association.
The idea that the government can tell us that we *must* associate with people we do not wish to associate with is a pernicious, enormous expansion of government power.
It is entirely based on federal law. There is not power in the Constitution to allow the Federal government to force people to associate with those they do not wish to associate with.
Actually there is a good body of state laws that draw an equivalence between this and the refusal to serve Blacks in your restaurant. Or let them stay in your motel.
I’m not sure if there is precedent in the Federal courts on the matter, but it’s certain the gay lobby and their political supporters intend to act as if it’s decided law.
And I don’t believe the Federal courts have ever made such a decision.
