Now that #SupremeCourt says we can discriminate, I'm trying to figure out what to tag content. #NoMAGA #NoRepublicans #QueerOnly #NoBreeders #NoChristians
My understanding is that businesses can refuse services which conflict with their beliefs, morals, etc, not broadly refuse to serve people
So you can't refuse someone for being a MAGA clown, but you could refuse to print MAGA shirts for a customer
I feel like this whole thing is simply just a clarification on what was already the case. Like, a baker can't just refuse a gay person for being gay. But they could refuse to make that gay person a huge dick shaped cake because, presumably, they would also refuse to make a huge dick shaped cake for a straight woman as well. The reason the customer wants the dick cake is irrelevant; merely that the cake is a dick.
It's close to that but not quite - a dick cake is a dick cake, but a wedding cake with a man and woman couple vs. a wedding cake with a man and man couple is treated differently
So, this is treating representing gay marriage as if it is unethical and vulgar which is clearly discriminatory
The law still doesn't permit the shop owner to blanket refuse service to someone who is gay (or MAGA), but fully allows them to descriminate against gay people exercising the same freedoms non-gays have, like getting married
MAGA clown is political affiliation, no reason you cannot discriminate on political grounds. If you said it was because they were white, or Christian, you'd be right though.
Yeah it's a new decision that's just a thin veil over hate. I wouldn't try to apply any logic to it.
But I do have a sincere belief that Christian Right MAGA Trump Supporters should be force-fed Ivermectin, have forced bleach injections, and be denied medical treatment for what they claim is non-existent Covid because I have a strong moral objection to their existence. That's not within my power.
But I do work in government and I'm going to quiet-quit any work that benefits Christian Right MAGA Trump supporters because the Supreme Court says my beliefs, morals, etc., allow me to refuse to serve them.
