    What happened to the Right to refuse service ? ...

    I remember those signs. The right to refuse service to a couple in
    swimsuits at a high class restaurant where customers are well dressed.
    That's just an example of a reasonable use of the right.
    Now it seems, no matter what your skill, you cannot refuse it when a
    pervert requests it without risking a lawsuit. If you don't wish to do
    business with someone, especially someone whose ideas you don't
    agree with, surely that's your right ? Not any more.

    The Supreme Court’s conservative majority is sounding sympathetic to a Christian graphic artist who objects to designing wedding websites for gay couples.


    If the perverts prevail in this, than welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah

    I don't think I could ever own a business where I dealt directly with the public.

      I did that for a few years after I retired, I and my Son sold and
      installed C Band Satellite dish systems, Tried to get small dish
      franchise when they came out but was beat out by Circuit City,
      The worst people to deal with were Realtors, Lawyers (of course)
      Professional people seemed the most likely to try and screw you.

        Worked at a mom and pop outfit once (furniture manufacturing). The business was very successful mostly because the owner never paid for supplies. When the company ended he owed most every business he had bought from.

          It is all about the Woke bunch. A totally insane perverted crook who enjoyed mutilating children and drinking their blood Woke up one day and realized his illness was so common that mostly everybody is totally insane and perverted so now it is easy to tell who the totally insane and perverted are.

          They are called Democrats.

            A Right to Life group had reservations at a restaurant in W VA and one of the staff read their site and got the employees to decide to un reserve them. Will be interesting.



            This is a different group, same outcome. Will keep searching.

              My safe space isn't your safe space. Of course, this is all about 'pajama boys' and their ilk. And lawyers.
              A great line from Tombstone(not the Costner one); "Law don't go around here law dog". Ike Clanton. He's made out to be, well, an idiot but the lawyers do muck up normal life some.
              I was in the swimming pool supply store which is the last mall before the kids hit the river. These two girls came in looking for something. Hooters galore. I don't get too excited about that these days but the kid behind the counter took notice. After they left, he asked the other clerk, Did you see that? Not properly dressed? We're not kicking them out. No sir.
              But if you are shocked and appalled by others behavior, I think you should have the right to refuse to be exposed to those people, even if they aren't 'doing it' right in front of you.
              I can't stand football. If I don't watch it does that make me a racist? If I want to sell hotdogs at the stadium then I don't have any say about the hair styles. That's a specific arena.
              If you have a business that covers a larger space then shouldn't you have the right to decern what part of the market you want to deal with? Normal people or weirdos. Those four words could go to the Supreme Court.
              I rent a table at the gunshow. A lot of different people walk past. You know who I really can't stand? The old guy in a wheelchair with plastic hose up his nose....smoking a cigarette. I walk away. Yeah, I know it's an addiction. It's not something I'm 'comfortable with'. I have my rights.
              Pretty long, hope it made some kind of sense. If it offended you, sue me.

                The actor Kirk Cameron has written a new book for children-faith based. So far 50 libraries have refused to allow him to conduct story hours.
                These cases have nothing to do with access to services and everything to do with attacking religious freedom.
