It's now legal to have a WHITES ONLY sign out front.
Only if you can make the argument that your business is artistic in nature... and if making a website is artistic in nature, surely serving food is too. Ironically this same argument could be applied to Katzenbach v. McClung and find the original ruling unconstitutional.
So you’re implying that you would want to give that person your business anyway? This ruling means nothing, find another web designer
Not all businesses are equal.
Imagine not being able to bury your partner because the funeral owner objects to your relationship. It's not like you can just go to the next funeral owner in town your going to have to drive a hour out and now your loved own isn't buried close by so forever you will be driving to see her grave stone.
The carve out they made to discrimination was if your work involved "expressive activity". Many businesses will apply to this label
I think that is a horrible and regrettable hypothetical, but one that should be allowed by the law. In the same way that I think Christians can be turned away at the door by a hardcore atheist.
If something about someone genuinely makes you uncomfortable, you should be allowed to distance yourself from them.
both of these hypotheticals are actually very unethical and i don't see why anyone would support that.
Interesting! Does your world view have any limits in this area? Like should any business be required to serve customers they are uncomfortable with?
