If Trayvon's parents opened a diner should they have to serve Zimmerman?

Wouldn't "sodomy" be an "individual reason"?

BTW, I think the Indiana law and pizza place are in the wrong and support everyone's right to marry and be miserable, but I thought this premise was a juicy one for conversation. The topic itself offers up all kinds of Devil's Advocate points and analogous situations to ponder. I thought this one was decent enough.

If I'm getting some sodomy in their restaurant, that would be an individual reason, IMO. If they are treating me different because they suspect I might like some sodomy at some point, that's more of a class discrimination issue as I see it. I actually think the pizza place is right. When I show up to eat, they are a business of public accomidation and should/would serve me. If I ask them to contract a special service, I see no issue with them getting to turn me down. I think that strikes the appropriate balance in a civil society. If they never want to serve a gay person, they should close their doors and only cater private functions.

This is exactly right.......well, starting where you say "I actually think the pizza place is right"!!

Sure. Neo-Nazis aren't a protected class. And before someone yells "Skokie!", that was a case of using public property.

A restaurant can refuse to serve people wearing Nazi uniforms for the same reason it can refuse to serve people who aren't wearing shirts or shoes.

Now, if the Nazis were openly gay, or African-American, that would be a different story.

Now here is someone who "gets it"

Wait a second; some of my best thoughts come before sunrise.

I think you mean urges and not thoughts

I do eat a lot of fiber.

Yep, it was the fiber.

Luckily the American citizens have this brain teaser of a conundrum while our profiteering masters plan their next war.

To answer OP's question, they can blast him as soon as he walks in the door. It won't be legal, I'm just curious how long one loser can stay in the news.

Quite some time if you use Al Sharpton as the example.
