This is a freedom of association issue for
businesses. Laws should protect businesses and give them the right to free
association.
Businesses must have the legal right to decide
who they welcome as customers. Every business plan identifies who they want as
customers. Some businesses specifically target customers by race and sex, like
men’s and women’s clothing stores or Black hair care products. Businesses
should also be able to chose employees by appearance and demeanor. Bar owners need to be able to “un-invite”
disruptive customers.
Governments who mandate obedience based on
“protected class discrimination” need to refer to the Civil Rights Act to see
that gays are not a protected class. States, cities and counties have taken the
“protected class” route for gays prematurely and should repeal those
ordinances.
Wedding services for gays should be niched. There
are gay churches, gay bakeries, gay photographers, gay restaurants and gay
bars. Gays should bypass courthouses and hang with their subculture for things
like weddings.
