I agree with Trevor on the first two points.

They chose to participate in the economy when they opened a public-facing business, at which point they lose the right to decide who they do and do not conduct business with.

Gunpoint is a huge figurative exaggeration. It's absurd.

On the third, if you wish to run a business you must treat protected classes equally.

So at no point is a business owner allowed to refuse service to anyone?

Never said that.

You kinda did, unless you're saying that only certain people can be refused service due to not being a protected class, which is blatantly violating the equal protection clause.

is factually wrong.

Merely opening a storefront does not entitle anyone to your property. You still have property rights.

Or do you not understand the fundamentals of a free market?


Do you not understand how businesses work? You still have to comply with the law. A complete free market where the company controls all aspects of business doesn't, has will never, exist in this country.

The law is a blatant violation of the Constitution.

As far as SJWs are concerned, sexual orientation trumps religious beliefs, therefore the bullies weaponizing their orientation is a-ok.

That's all this really comes down to, with the gay cake thing.

And you CAN refuse this service to a straight couple, so there's no argument that you can't for a gay couple.

Youre completely misunderstanding this or being completely obtuse. Read the decision. He refused to make them the cake when he found out it was for a gay wedding ceremony. Using the he could refuse straight people line is a fallacy cause he wouldnt unless they wanted something vulgar that he didnt want to do, not a wedding cake which they offer for sale.

He refused to sell them the cake cause they are gay and were having a gay wedding ceremony. There is no better example of clear cut discrimination.

if you believe markets regulations are antithetical to a free market, then by your logic the US never had a free market to begin with.

No, you're only entitled if you DO pay for it.


The law disagrees with you. As does basic human decency.

So by securing a home loan, you can start moving into any house you want?

Nope - gotta actually pay for it first.


Right. I can be refused a sale because I can't or won't pay for the home. I can't be refused the sale because I'm gay. Are you getting this yet?

Merely opening a storefront does not entitle anyone to your property. You still have property rights.


When that "property" is goods and services for sale to the public, yes, it objectively does entitle me to it provided I can pay for it.

Or do you not understand the fundamentals of a free market?

First, you said you're entitled to service merely for your ability to pay. I just pointed out that's false.

Second, nobody was denied service for being gay.

the folks who support the bakers refusing the cake for the gay wedding should be perfectly fine with Muslims refusing things based on beliefs -- ie refusing to pick up a single woman in a cab because its against his beliefs.

I am. First Amendment explicitly allows it.

Nope. Your AnCap utopia will never be a reality in this country. Go move to Somalia if you love it so much.
