Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed
No one is asked to give up their beliefs or think alike. Millions of times every day a Christian serves an atheist, a Muslim serves a Christian, liberals serve conservatives. They're not required to abandon their beliefs in doing so.
I don't see anti-discrimination laws any different than your role as moderator on DP. You boot people who choose not to comply with terms of service that allows this place to serve as a forum FOR differences of opinion. Laws against discrimination based on race, religion, etc. allow for those of widely different views to coexist peacefully.
There will be difficult cases, perhaps like baking cakes for a wedding, but those can be settled or are the downside of what works 99.9% of cases.
In other words people are required to give up their personal beliefs and everyone must think alike in order to own a business. Thanks but no thanks. Living in such a society would be extremely boring and extremely restrictive.
