sickening to see the photo of the religious zealots all stood around the governor signing into law the right for people to discriminate against others (gay, lesbian, trans-gender) based purely on religious dogma.. if religious people want those freedoms then the can't have it both ways - they cannot complain if *they* are discriminated against.. "sorry, we don't like zionists, get out".
"oh, it's some special mass and you can't work your shift?
you're fired!"..
Perhaps my question for you should be what do you think of a Miss White USA, Miss White Mississippi and Miss White Teen pageants?
Perhaps it should be. Why, though?
No. Try reading what I've written already.
Discrimination is not wrong under the law unless the thing discriminated against is protected against discrimination.
So you think as long as there is no law against discriminating against women it's fine?

I don't think I've twisted a word of what you asserted. I just don't think you like the end it leads to.
So, anyone should be able to discriminate for anything?

That's not the story I read. It was not what they are that caused her refusal of service but, rather, the event they wanted her to service. She was already selling flowers to the gay customer. It was the wedding ceremony she objected to servicing.
Agreed! It's not that the people are black, it's that they wanted a black wedding!
Disgusting,

I guess from now on the florist gal will have to supply floral arrangements to the KKK Grand Event whether she wants to do it or not.
Keep guessing.
"White only" restaurants are all over the place in the United States, and so are "black only". They call them "private clubs" in order to get around laws.
Name some of those places.
I don't think the florist gal was imposing her opinion on anyone. She was having an opinion imposed on her, one she apparently did not expect and did not understand as a legal requirement.
Correct.

I'm neither sympathetic nor unsympathetic for this particular business owner. I'm more concerned about the question of personal liberty. If there's a store owner who wants to refuse service to someone then let them do so and let customers decide if they want to do business with such a person.
Said person is free to not open a store. If they do so, they agree to do so not being an asshole.

Okay. I replaced it. I have this:
You did no such thing. Stop pretending.

Let's take another example. If the government reinstates the draft, should conscientious objector status based on religious belief be denied?

Religious freedom goes both ways, Christians have rights too. Most Christian shops ( and other religions who oppose gay marriage ) have a FISH on the cards or door.

On the other hand, I do not believe the government should be ordering people to do things they don't want to do.
The government does that all the time. Speed limits, taxes, school, building permits, work safety, etc., and we are fine with it.
No one forces anyone to open a business. The government should simply be saying "If you CHOOSE to open a business, then the rules are 'no discrimination'".
Ask yourself a question: if you're planning a wedding do you want to put it in the hands of people who are doing it only because the state is threatening them?
Sorry, they don't get tax breaks AND the right to discriminate. Pick one.
