But religious people get a pass?But what if enough people in a community do not want to serve gays that restaraunts, hotels, movie theatres and stores refuse their service and are supported for it?This is America.a long time ago my sister and i got into a debate about something similar. only i asked her that if she found an apartment complex she loved and it was close to her and checked all her boxes, but she couldn't move on because she had a kid, would she consider that unfair? ie - the complex is "adult only". she was of course not happy and felt that would be discriminating.
according to our current laws that is true.
but what i never understood is why people can't choose their target audience when they go into business. if i'm an adult i'd love to know there are no kids who will be up early on the weekends and waking me up. or toys scattered over the property. i'd just prefer since i have no kids to live in that type of community.
why can't i?
i don't think there will ever be a good answer for that one.
We are too progressive to live where we are comfortable and happy.
we can't let people be happy doing what they want to do. we have to define what happiness is and tell people to go do that.
if in my example people don't want an all adult complex then they go out of business for making a bad call. simple as that. i understand people may feel discriminated against because they can't move in there, but why am i having to put up with their choices in life when i just want a quiet community with adults only to chill with?
Why do you defend institutional discrimination?
