Just askin... I don't think anyone should be refused service on the basis of their demographic, but there is also the dimension in service regarding 'what the service is', or 'how the service is provided.' It seems the conscientiousness of the service provider, especially when placed in a position of personal conflict should be considered. The current politically correct solution is to make one solution fit all, circumstances be damned. This was aimed at conservative Christians but... * What about refusing to serve customers as a simple matter of conscience, or moral conflict? * Can a business owner refuse to serve an unruly or threatening customer? * Will you be forced to provide service to a customer who is dirty and smelly, and who is driving away other customers? * Will physicians be forced to perform abortions? * Can a Jewish cake maker be required to make a swastika cake? * Can a Catholic pharmacist be forced to distribute birth control pills? * Can a Muslim business owner be required to serve bacon or liquor? * Can a bath house towel/massage girl be required to massage pervs? I don't see this trend based in discrimination (as advertised). I see it more as an attack on the right of conscientious objection, which was once a liberal standard. Now it appears no one is is left to champion people of conscience. Sorry to see that.
