I wonder when people stopped thinking. By the same argument, should they be allowed to block all black people?
- njudah 6y agoAs reprehensible as it is, legally they absolutely are. Remember how country clubs didn't / still don't allow woman, african americans or jews? Common carriers (stores, hotels, etc) are treated differently, and is very much debated. (ie can a bakery deny service based on sexual preference.)
- _-david-_ 6y ago>can a bakery deny service based on sexual preference. It is a little more nuanced than that. Bakeries were not denying anybody based on sexual orientation. If a gay man went to get a straight wedding cake, a non-wedding cake, or a wedding cake for a gay wedding that did not have anything to indicate it was for a gay wedding the bakers would not have denied them.
