The same "private property" where I can run a segregated lunch counter or refuse to bake a gay wedding cake?
Sorry, truly private property and the previous principles of negative freedom of association died a hard death in the 1960s, and it's only a matter of time until Facebook et. al. are brought to heel (or worse).

- hga 10y agoA difference without a distinction when who you are, a non-"liberal"/progressive/Leftist member of the "Right" is the real reason, the "what you are doing" is just providing the evidence of what you are. I notice you're not extending your argument to the latest example I cited of forced baking of gay wedding cakes. In that case, until the gay couple reveal they are such, there's no's issue, e.g. they could meet a Biblically observant baker half-way by substituting a M/M or F/F figure at the top after taking delivery, and customize the frosting if needed/desired. Don't ask, don't tell, more traditionally "live and let live", is a old American tradition they could tap into if they were only looking for a solution to line item on a wedding checklist. But that's not their agenda when they make their demands of such establishments, they're demanding full acceptance of who they are with the full coercive force of the state behind them.
