Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the Constitution guarantee freedom of association?

The Constitution. How quaint.

We've evolved past that that old thing into a new era where power is reallocated to where it rightly belongs: a faceless group of bureaucrats who are far more enlightened to make decisions for people than they are themselves.

One of the first steps in that evolution was basically making every business in the country a "place of public accommodation", which gives the state a compelling interest to force businesses to accept any and all clients. Originally designed to deal with businesses along major transportation corridors to ensure that a traveller would not be stuck without food, fuel, or lodging due to racial discrimination, our betters have determined that it now applies to any business that takes any clients at all, and have expanded the meaning of "discrimination" to include behavior as well as race or religion, and that behavioral abnormalities trump religious beliefs in the process.

And aren't we a better people for it?

Wasn't that written, like, 75 years ago?
