In 2018, the United States Supreme Court recognized the “general rule” that religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage “do not allow business owners and other actors in the economy and in society to deny protected persons equal access to goods and services under a neutral and generally applicable public accommodations law.” 1
On June 30, 2023, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class.
Then let’s make it public when a business wants to hate:
- A notice should be prominently posted that their services cannot be used for gay marriages.
- A notice should be prominently posted of their religious affiliation so that folks know that they should not use them in case they might be divorced, don’t believe in Jesus Christ, are an atheist, are in an interracial marriage, living together outside of legal marriage, etc.
- Perhaps take us to the dark ages where we can post “No Dogs or Jews Allowed”.
