On the contrary - NAACP v Alabama. Freedom of Association is inherent in freedom of speech.
We have been there and done that cpwill. Catch up.
If you use the power of the State to seek to force people to participate in activities that violate their religious precepts (for example, forcing a Muslim grocer to make you a pork sandwich, or forcing a Catholic church to allow you to hold a gay wedding in its chapel, or forcing a Southern Baptist to attend and photograph a gay wedding), then you are asking them to violate the tenets of their faith.
What do your examples have to do with my argument?
:shrug: I find it interesting that someone who claims to be a libertarian is so quick to reach for the sword of the state to wield against those who disagree with him on sexuality. "Keep government out of our bedrooms and our bakeries", perhaps, might be more consistent.
Did I say I inherently support anti discrimination laws? I don't think they work and they are counteractive, but that does not inherently mean they violate constitutional rights or that people have the right to ignore them if they choose to do business in a state that has one.
