The left is once again having a meltdown over something that happened while Obama was President, and blaming it on SCOTUS, Trump, and conservatives.

Whenever or why-ever it happened, people have the right to do what they want in their own personal lives. If that includes refusing to allow someone onto your own property, then so be it. Go somewhere else.

You can’t refuse to serve people people for what they are, only what they do (like wear a ball cap or not wear a shirt).

The baker did not refuse to serve gays. He refused to do a cake for a fake wedding.

Rather stupid for a general merchant.

But since he wants to make this an issue, he will be whining if/when ACE pulls his franchise license.

In the world of pick-your-battles, this merchant may have picked the wrong one. Be a merchant or be an activist.

We’ve been putting up with No Guns Allowed signs for years. Where’s our social justice?

We used to say this is a free country. I can refuse to serve someone for whatever reason I want. It’s not for government to punish what I think.

Sorry hoss. That ended with Jim Crow. Welcome to the our world.

If they bothered to look they'd find that anti-discrimination laws are state laws, and the Tennessee anti-discrimination law does not prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation. So the hardware store owner's actions, while distasteful to some people, were not illegal.

And what should a person’s punishment be if he won’t be forced to serve? Take away is property, throw him in jail, end his life? Call it what you want, to me it’s slavery.

Distasteful to loathsome perverts and their idiot supporters.

F them. They should have no say in anything, ever.

Agree with DSC.

I’m not going to support a ‘life style’ when its practitioners have murder, suicide, domestic abuse, and serious communicable disease rates 10-30 TIMES higher than the normal population.

The people who support fecal sex only harm ‘gays’ and the culture in general.

Where in the Constitution does it prohibit you, as an individual, from refusing to serve any person for any reason whatsoever?

Anti-Discrimination laws targeting citizens are blatantly unconstitutional.

The Constitution only prohibits the government from discrimination in certain specified areas. I don’t think that openly homosexual people are specified in that prohibition.

Show me where I am wrong.

You cannot have a No Coloreds sign on your business. Where have you been for 50 years?

Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination by privately owned places of public accommodation on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin. Places of “public accommodation” include hotels, restaurants, theaters, banks, health clubs and stores. Nonprofit organizations such as churches are generally exempt from the law.

That of course flies in the face of the 1st Amendment guarantee of freedom of association.

Or it protects it. I remember Jim Crow. Some of my friends still have Jim Crow-era bathrooms.

If the Civil Rights Act was unconstitutional, it would be gone by now.

A law that specifically forbids the freedom not to associate is not in support of freedom of association. The claim that it would be gone by now if it were unconstitutional is laughable, given how much of the federal government activities fall into that category and remain unmolested by judicial decree.

We would not have needed the Civil Rights Act if we hadn’t denied people their civil rights. We brought that on ourselves.

What’s this “we” stuff? Most Americans weren’t even alive then.

Either way, one offense to freedom of association is not the proper cure to another offense to it.
