File a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Commission for this discrimination.

hee hee.. good one
that’s going on my facebook page
I know we don’t like facebook here much but I am finding it very useful to spread the message further than here on FR.
Here, it seems like we are just preaching to the choir.

Yes, it's a two way street. It's been established law for 50 years. Under the 1964 Civil rights act, the public accommodation clause, the hair dresser is breaking the law. If your open for business, you must serve all customers wishing to do business, and able to financially do so.

“Should the hairdresser be sued for his discrimination and forced to comply?”
Yes...and the state should pull his license for discriminating!

Compare and contrast:
1) A baker provides all manner of service for gay customers, except for baking a cake for a “gay wedding” due to religious objections.
2) A gay hairdresser refuses any service to a customer solely on the basis of political differences.
Clearly, setting aside “protected status” of the parties involved, the second case is far more morally objectionable than the first one - the first case discriminates not against the customers themselves, but for a specific service that the provider believes is against his/her religious beliefs, whereas the second case discriminates directly against the customer.
And yet, the baker is an evil bigot and the hairdresser is a courageous defender of the downtrodden. Welcome to modern day Gemh... er... America.
The double standard is what really annoys me here. Personally, I believe that in both cases, the service provider is within their rights to refuse service to any customer they don’t want to do business with, regardless of whether or not anyone else agrees with their decisions.

The double standard:
normal people are always wrong.
government-approved victim group members are always right.
there is no other right and wrong.

I read somewhere. Should gay T-shirt shops be forced to make T-shirts that say God hates fags?

Should the hairdresser be sued for his discrimination and forced to comply? I'm not sure I'd want to see the results if you did and won.
To: tonyome
Not sure of the article, but this story is a couple of years old. I remember hearing about it on the news shortly after she was sworn in in 2011.

To: tonyome
if christians bakers are forced to bake cakes for gay weddings, a gay stylist should be forced to to do this.
of course then wouldn’t trust him to do a good job.

I really wouldn’t want someone to cut my hair who really didn’t want to or had some kind of bone to pick with me.

Good grief...from your link...
Normally I sell the formula to people if they want to go to a different salon that is cheaper. I normally give the formula to clients if theyre moving out of state because I care about my clients. But I would not give that formula to her.”
