I am for the Coffee Shop,

I would prefer that public accommodations laws only apply when discrimination might result in serious physical harm. The coffee shop owner should be able to refuse to serve Christians, and a Christian baker should be able to refuse to bake a gay wedding cake, but a hotel owner should not be able to legally deny lodging to Christians during a hurricane, simply because they are Christians.

Since that is not the current law, the question is: Should existing public accommodations laws be enforced against leftists as well as against conservatives?

I think the answer is yes, so I am NOT "for the Coffee Shop."

Sue the bastard.

No, I am still for the Coffee shop. The “Christian” group was not really harmed, because (a) getting coffer is NOT a “necessity” and (b) nothing prevented them from getting coffee somewhere else. Therefore, the situation does not even meet, in my view, what the “public accommodation” test was originally all about.

I’d like to be a Christian lawyer defending them, to, in the process, demonstrate to them the Liberty principles they in turn should be accepting for Christians, such as Christian bakers who won’t do a “same sex” wedding cake.
