There is no way I think that specific harm to individuals is unlikely. How can being asked about your sexual orientation and then being "referred" elsewhere be considered to have no emotionally harmful impact? Well, it can't. I'm not going to even add "IMO" to that. It can't. The purpose of my constrained, under-the-radar version of the scenario was to see if there was any way that Mojo could do his thing without appreciable harm. I know you want to smack him and send him to work at McDonalds, but I was trying to see if there was any way possible, any way at all, for him to pursue his career without offending societal values. If not, then the only alternatives are for him to find another line of work or end up sued or prosecuted. Both are pretty drastic so I was looking to see if there was any workable middle ground. So the question I have is, if Mojo stayed under the radar, only taking clients by referral so that no one need know his reasons for rejecting some clients, could you hold your nose while suffering him to do that? Or is there some harm in that so great that you simply could not stand for it? Is there some harm that you would consider actionable?
