Re: San Antonio Adopts Disputed Gay Rights Measure
No, it's public morality. No man has right to another man's property
Government and emergency care of course cannot discriminate. Perhaps you could make argument that any publicly traded company would have to follow government (public) discrimination laws. But private business is private, I'm not saying you're wrong or that it's irrational. I'm just saying that I'm not sold on it, fundamentally it seems not right to force a man to sell service to one he may not want to. It's his labor, he should be able to deliver it as he feels.
Perhaps, but at heart what we're talking about here are photographers and bakers...I'm not sure it's quite on the level of police or ambulance service.
But just because people are lazy doesn't really give authority then to government force.
hey ikari
1.)its not public morality, its protecting rights

2.) i would never support any laws in these areas the empowers bigots, to many risks. Where does it stop? where would your line be. bakeries and florist? hospitals and foster care faclities? hotels? Doctors? first aid clinics emergency care clinics? food markets? malls? mechanics? restaurants? walmart etc etc

I think its best, more liberty based, logical and civil if we all play by the same rules. Dont you? I mean if not how do we decided how facilities are grouped?
Otherwise they can pic the 3 choices i already stated. Oh and lets not kid ourselves, they can always do what a lot of people do, practice discrimination but hide it some how. "we are booked that day"

3.) if only the world always worked like this, it doesnt
