"constitutional right to freedom of conscience????"
what the fuckkkk all is that?
It's the only sane way for people to get along in society. The last thing we want is government telling us how or what to think.
my conscience tells me to murder the fuck outta someone if they're found to have molested my daughter.
guess what? thats murder.
Exactly, your conscience doesn't enter into it. It's the act of murder that is illegal. When it comes to discrimination laws it isn't the act of refusing to serve someone that is illegal. It's doing it for prohibited reasons.
public commerce is V-O-L-U-N-T-A-R-Y to provide services within.
And some of us want to keep it that way. Trading with people shouldn't mean that you sacrifice your basic human rights.
