We have? Can you show me a national law in the US that says restaurants have to serve gays?

See how the "it's a private business so they can discriminate!" works?

Keep in mind, as you mention, the shoe has been on the other foot and it will be again. It's better to enshrine and uphold these principals at all times. Not be like a dirty cop planting evidence because "he knows the suspect did it" and try to get to "Right" by cheating. In the end that blows up and it was wrong all along anyway.



Why do you think I’m talking about the US? There’s a whole world out there.


In that case "We" haven't decided anything at all what you suggest.

But now you and I are in the weeds.

I hope you see my point, that's all. Discrimination isn't good. Even if you don't agree with the other party.


We aren’t trying to come to an agreement, we has a lot broader meaning than that. Good luck, have fun.

Discrimination isn’t good and propping it up in the name of free speech is gross.


"We" in a global context have many different views.

Agreed, we aren't trying to come to agreement, on that we apparently agree.

Speech might be hateful, but isn't discrimination. Discrimination is discrimination.

Free spread of ideas is vital to the continued progress of humanity but sometimes it will offend people.
