@doctor-phibes what about her husband. He has committed no thoughtcrime, has he?
Perhaps he should just build his own hotels.

I also think the people buying the cake have every right to protest outside their shop.
And to sue?

protection from discrimination by all business establishments in California, including housing and public accommodations, because of age, ancestry, color, disability, national origin, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation.
So, in California, I can exclude Antifa.
Good.

You have every right to sue. Doesn't mean you'll win, does it?

You also have the right to drool in public.

I said I didn't agree with any of it, but according to Liberty Central, people should be able to choose who they do business with. That piece of wisdom cuts both ways.
That means people can get fucked for no reason at all. It's the price of Freedom, or as we say around here 'At Will Employment'. It actually says in my job offer that I can be let go for no reason whatsover.

That's the point I've been making. If you want people to be able to refuse to serve others because of their beliefs, that freedom still applies when you think their beliefs are stoopid.
Any idiot can defend people he agrees with. It's having to defend the other ones where people start asking whether liberty is such a great idea.

I think blacklisting a person because of those stated in the opening story is asinine.

So do I. But that's what Freedom is all about. I also think refusing to cater gay weddings is asinine.
If you want it to stop, you might need some government interference. Again, that would cut both ways, so the bakers might find themselves forced to sell cakes.
Alternatively, just let the market take care of it.
