Well, I didn’t ask about your concern as a customer, but about the propriety of the business owner to bar people on the basis of his or their personal beliefs.

But in an effort to address what seems to be your point, I guess in your world racist White people who run restaurants should be allowed to bar Black people, and vice versa...?

No. You asked whether it should be allowed. Whether something is allowed or appropriate are different things.

Yes

They are pushing slavery.

You have to be free to take what commissions you like and refuse ones you do not or you are a slave.

Because a slave may not say no.

I mean ‘allowed’ and ‘appropriate’ in terms of the Law.

We have laws against discrimination on the basis of race/skin color, religion, etc.

The bakeries or photographers often go down the road of principle, I would choose pragmatism. whoredom.

You just lie back and enjoy it.

It's going to be a complicated issue to a jurist.

No.

It is not complicated.

Do you think a restaurant or delicatessen run by, say, a devout Jewish or fundamentalist Christian family, should be allowed to deny service to a Muslim who walks through the door?

A restaurant no, a caterer yes. And if the mohammedan asked to celebrate their gorge-fest in a special party back room they can say no.

Sales, you are selling off the shelve product.

Commissions, you become the employee of the person you accept the commission from.

While we have decided that "sales" must be available to all you still can not be forced to take a job against your will.

That is called slavery.

And I thought we decided that was wrong.

The photographer took the wrong legal approach to claim taking photos of those she disliked violated her civil rights. She should have alleged that there were other photographers in the market place that were available and thus the customer had choice. I wonder if this so-called photographer is a plant or shill for gay rights groups? It is silly to be forced to serve all customers. Restaurants have the right to refuse service to anyone. This case smells.

Gays habitually want attention so they do purposely seek out Christian stores to gain a case. Like those in England who throw themselves across the hood of an on coming car so they can make an Insurance claim.

“I used to believe gays have a right to do whatever it is they do, as long it is behind closed doors.

.... until my wife left me for another”

All homosexuality is demonic. All perversion (including premarital sex, affairs, porn) is demonic.

I’m sorry that happened to you
Sounds painful.

The gaystapo goes after all that oppose their queer and unnatural ways. Law is supposed to protect us. Glad it was stopped this time.
