It’s not “doing business”, it’s “offering services to the public”, and only one side is doing that. By law, you can’t discriminate when offering services, and gays should be protected just like racial and religious categories are.
Is that code for you don’t care if people discriminate?
If an ice cream parlor won’t serve Jews because they don’t recognize that Jesus is Lord; and the Anti-Defamation League organizes a protest because of this policy, you’re saying that both sides are equally wrong? (ETA: or equally justified, if you prefer. I just mean there’s no moral difference between the actions of the paror and the ADL.) I just want to make sure I understand.
No.
Your gold fringe is in my lunatic fringe!
but you are against laws that prevent discrimination, right?
No.
well do you think it would be possible for you to state directly what you do or do not support?
He made a joke and you didn’t get it. It isn’t worth explaining it to you, just move on.
Are you seeking a publicly registered legal personality created by the state?
It’s possible you’re confusing him with Aji de Gallina.
no, i didnt confuse the two
Then why on Earth were you assuming that Hentor was against anti-discrimination laws?
Or the corporation known as AJI DE GALLINA, who is someone else entirely.
I am inscrutable. I cannot be scruted.
Both sides of business are free to engage or not.
We’re talking about wedding cakes, not heart surgery.
Being a douchebag is an opinion. Being free isn’t.
My “reduction” is essential to see the general principle. It also applies to the NAACP not having to rent their dance hall to the neo-nazi group.
If the law in the place were you do business restrict your freedom of doing business in the way you want (assholey or not) then you have two options: follow the law that you find distasteful OR close up shop. If your bakey is such an essential part of the fabric of society that your refusal to sell one wedding cake sets your community on the edge of death, then that community should, freely, decide if losing your business is worth it.
One can, of course, simultaneously petition so that the law changes to something you find more agreeable.
I may think that a particular business’s decision not to serve people born on a Tuesday on a Fibonacci series day in a prime-numbered month in a year before that of an olympic game is stupid, but I think they should be able to do so (for non-essential, non-life threatening stuff).
I think it is stupid to not serve Jews ice-cream because they don’t recognise that Jesus is Lord.
I think that, being an ice-cream parlor (and not vaccines for kids), they should be able to do it.
The ADL is free to protest an expose what they consider an odious action and let people choose if they want to engage in business with that particular establishment.
Good one, 
Okay – you don’t like the Civil Rights Act. I get it.
“People born on a Tuesday on a Fibonacci series day in a prime-numbered month in a year before that of an olympic game” is not a protected class, so businesses can feel free to not serve them.
Note the forum.
Scrute you, buddy.
The creative process.
