Fed gov and state Gov..
Nope to that last. You're almost understanding the country you've lived in for what I assume is decades now. Yes, a gas station can and should be able to refuse to sell you gas. A supermarket can and should be able to refuse to sell you food.
The distinction for vital services are enshrined in law, sorry if you find anything unclear in that. And I am not implying it, I'm saying it.
Anti-discrimination laws do.
the 1964 civil rights act is legal only in the sense, when it applies to government.
government has no authority over the people, unless they violate the rights of another citizen, or cause a health and saftey concern.
when a citizen is on another citizens property, ...a citizen, has no EXERCISABLE rights at all.
a citizen cant excise a right on someones property.... unless the property owner gives his permission.
he Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88–352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in the United States[4] that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.[5] It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public (known as "public accommodations").
Nothing about my position contradicts itself. I was very clear in my argument, and as I said, private enterprise is not government.
Oh really? I didn't know you could discriminate for any reason... gays can be banned from gas stations huh...?, what about blacks, them too?
Of course they can and they have in the past with legal segregation laws.
yes, and it applies to local government also, a city government cannot discriminate, ..because government works for the people.
how can a government discriminate against the very people it works for?
IN hind sight this was not a great example, but with a bit of intellectual integrity you would have known what I mean. I shall not expect that from you in the future.The Constitution never explicitly protects the right to vote, but simply says that it can not be denied to certain groups.
Oh, but I have and better yet I understand it unlike you.Thanks for not reading the Constitution.
Come on, even you can do better than that. Are you suggesting that a few months here or there do really make a difference?Oh and btw, you just showed no understand of the difference between children and adults.
Riiight, what a load of BS.The reason a child's rights are restricted BY NATURE
The one you introduce into this discussion.What force?
They can pass bills such as this to allow legal discrimination.
But he wasn't invited to the wedding nor was his name on the cake, but he was a bigot.It was the event that he refused to participate in, provide for.
So this is allowing legal segregation... So isnt that illegal?yes, they have and its illegal, ..we agree here.
government is not here to pass laws to allow discrimination.
government is here to secure your rights, no matter how you exercise them, ......the only exception being you cant violate the rights of other people, or violate health and saftey laws which can put the public in danger.
So you would be OK with being turned away from an emergency room, since you are not paying for it.Do you understand the difference between paying for a service and not getting it, and simply being refused service in the first place?
First and foremost the law would have allowed even bigoted state employees to discriminate. Second, a private hospital is as much private as a bakery and more importantly, a doctor too can have religious convictions and it is HIS service that can save your life.Hospitals and 911 are governed by a set of laws that are unique to vital services.
IN hind sight this was not a great example, but with a bit of intellectual integrity you would have known what I mean. I shall not expect that from you in the future.

By individuals, not government.

What a moronic line of reasoning. What the **** do you think food is? If grocery stores refuse to serve people they can just grow their own by this idiocy you are spreading.Vital services have nothing to do with the equation.
