Let me turn this around for you...
> It sounds like "willing to work with all people" is a lie then. If you are making a wedding website for a same-sex couple, what kind of message do you think it will contain?
Substitute "same-sex couple" with "conservatives" and you have Facebook right now.
> If you run a wedding business and cannot accommodate all the different types of weddings recognized under the law, you are not capable of running a wedding business.
So, just to be clear: You're saying that businesses should effectively operate like public accommodations? Does that apply to everybody, including people you personally dislike?
Mind you, I actually favor that position, but I'd just like to get someone to actually admit to it publicly that all men are created equal and endowed with the same rights, not just those groups that happen to be politically favored during the current news cycle. I'm one of those weird people from the early days of the Internet that actually means it when he says he's for civil rights.
> These are the same type of people who feel their rights are being violated when they get kicked off Twitter because of their non-protected violent posts
And there it is. Anyone who thinks different than you is violent and should be deplatformed. QED.
Sorry, sir, but the law applies to everyone or no one. You don't get to play favorites. This isn't Apartheid Zuid Afrika... or Israel for that matter.

It really is that simple. > So, just to be clear: You're saying that businesses should effectively operate like public accommodations? To be clear: denying service on the basis of your potential customer being a protected class is illegal. Denying service because you don't like their political opinion is not illegal. > Sorry, sir, but the law applies to everyone or no one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group#United_States

- EarlKing 5y agoThanks. I just wanted to have you on record stating your naked bigotry for all to see. It's nice to know that if slavery were still legal today you'd be all in favor of that because black people wouldn't be a protected class.
