You have the right to equal access to a business.

Why, exactly?

Businesses that violate this should be prone to having people boycott their intolerant business, but why should it be required?

Same reason businesses have to serve people of all race equally.

How is not discrimination (if it's true)?

Not that I agree with having private businesses being forced to serve everybody just because it's "in the sphere of the public". You don't have a right to a beer (or a cake).

You have the right to equal access to a business. It's not discrimination because political beliefs aren't part of any protected class.

To clarify, this is akin to banning someone for wearing a gay pride hat, which, while. I'd disagree with, doesn't violate any laws and so shouldn't lead to a financial payout.

Will the real Octillery please stand up

*stands up*

I wonder how much confusion I'd cause if I made my signature "not the real octillery"

Good. If a bakery has to pay a 6 figure fine for not baking a gay wedding cake, then the precedent is set to sue businesses that deny service for political reasons.

Except in that case it's discrimination, in this case it isn't. Key difference.

Business was stupid to refuse him, but violated no laws, so no payout.

Just stopping by :3
