There is an important distinction that you are blurring. On the one hand, we don’t (any more) tolerate places of public accommodation from excluding people based on certain categories, such as race. Because permitting that exclusion leads to injustice and makes life difficult for the excluded groups. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean we automatically want to force people to do lengthy, bespoke work that offends their beliefs, even if we might not agree with those beliefs.
- cool_dude85 5y agoI'm no legal scholar, but I'm not sure if the public accommodation part is true. Can a web designer refuse to accept black clients today? I assumed this was more or less a settled issue on the race side.

I think their comment still applies. Do you still think the web developer should have the right to deny service based on the race or sex of the client, if that's what they were claiming offended their beliefs? If every wedding photographer denied a couple service because they are two men, doesn't that "make life difficult for the excluded group"?
