We did?

I thought so, but I could be mistaken. I recall Jewel saying that there were none and Neo saying that he was unaware of such laws although Chris challenged him on it. I know of none. All of which just adds up to something less that "establishment," I guess, but maybe a working assumption.

Are you sure he would almost definitely win any anti-discrimination lawsuit?

I don't recall speaking to this. But I think he would win if he were sued by a woman. I think he should lose if sued by a gay, but a jury might not feel that way. He'd better hope I'm not on the jury.

I probably would not give him a specific exemption to the law but if one was written in that could cover him I wouldn't object to the objection

Well, there's the rub. What would the exemption look like? We hereby exempt all personal service providers whose service involves touching and who can show a strong and firmly held conviction that touching, when that touch could theoretically result in the arousal of the client, is morally repugnant. How's that? Crafted nice and tight and on point. The SC would love that.

Of course we get into trouble, as I have pointed out repeatedly, with the specific criteria by which he would screen clients. I know of nothing that would fly. Certainly not gender plus sexual orientation.
