I think when you're barring people from service because of the color of their skin, or their sex, or a disability, it's very hard to defend I agree, and I don't think it should be defended. However refusing to defend or support such actions is not the same as supporting making them illegal. I also don't support married people cheating on their spouses by having unprotected sex with many partners without the agreement or the knowledge of the spouse. However I don't think either adultery or unprotected sex should be illegal. But encouraging people to act on their hate, just makes other people think it's ok. I don't think not having something be illegal is encouragement of it, or generally makes most people think it is ok. I don't think most people think getting falling down drunk when they go home every night is ok, despite the fact that it is legal. I don't think most people think racist rants are ok, despite the 1st amendment. I don't think there is any "obvious reinforcement" of an activity just because the activity is no outlawed. Tim
