Lol you think discrimination suites cost $50 if one loses?
Why you are just an adorable little bigot!

You misunderstand. This is about you personally.
All the people you fear are going to come and take all your stuff.

You mean like the Supreme Court whose decision basically backed the Masterpiece Cakeshop guy?

I mean he's spending his time defending bakers and tsk-ing rape victims.
A lot on his plate today.

I highly doubt some LBGTQ person is going to come to my house and take my stuff, although I'll be happy to share my closet with them in case they like rocking my style.

Uhmm, that's not how it works. I would make a complaint to the government and the government goes after you, it doesn't cost me a dime! So yeah, I get to sit around and even if the jury agrees with you you're still out thousands for lawyers. And then yes, if you haven't gone out of business from legal fees you'll make me that cake, haha.
Again it's kind of amazing you have such strong opinions about this when it's obvious you have no idea how any of it works.

That's a perverse way of looking at it. His artistic sensibilities weren't offended, he himself admits that he refused do make the cake because it was transgender person asking for one.
1/10, you need to get more creative in your insults. Leftist scum is pretty lame.

Laziness is not a virtue. I'm sure your mother has also told you this many times trying to get you to find a job and stop mooching off her.

It's about consistency. If they can ban conservatives then there shouldn't be any complaining when someone else bans a progressive and their status as a protected class shouldn't matter. That's why this whole thing is a pointless exercise anyway, once folks who are inclined to discriminate figure out the "legally correct" way to discriminate they'll just switch to doing that and presumably with the blessing of folks like @fskimospy You just need to wrap your bigotry in a plausible sounding excuse about how what you "really" object to (*cough cough*) is the content you're being asked to express and not that you're gay/black/whatever. Or they'll just conveniently "be on vacation that day" or any one of a thousand other reasons. It's not about stopping discrimination in any practical sense, it's just about forcing those who would discriminate to lie about why they're discriminating. I'd much prefer to just have the discrimination out in the open rather than be exercised in stealth mode where you have less recourse to fight it.
What do you mean 'status as a protected class'? That's not a thing. Like for example you realize 'being black' is not a protected class and that all Americans have identical protections against discrimination based on race, right?
Every private business can discriminate against someone based on their conduct because conduct is not protected under public accommodation laws. If any business wants to kick someone out for acting shitty that's their choice. Same thing if Twitter tomorrow wants to ban all conservatives. If some other company wanted to ban all progressives they are free to do so as well! After all we should always judge people on what they DO, not what they were born as. It's an affirmatively positive thing!
Like I said before (and like you had no answer to), this strategy of yours relies on the courts being staffed entirely with morons who can't tell the difference. You realize that everyone who loses these judgments does exactly what you suggest, tries to come up with an innocent excuse. Sometimes it works, but a lot of the time it doesn't.
Yes, because we all know public accommodation laws were totally ineffective in combating segregation in public businesses in the south. Wait what.
Again I have to ask why you seem to have such strong opinions about an issue you clearly know absolutely nothing about. I'm not even talking about how we disagree but you seem to have a large number of basic facts wrong. For example you thought that the complainant was the one that had to shoulder the legal burden of bringing a case when it is in fact the state. You thought people could get around it by refusing service to someone's parents instead of the child. You appear to think some people are part of 'protected classes' instead of understanding those 'classes' are attributes that all humans share.
Oh really?
Colorado baker loses appeal over refusal to make gender transition cake
A Colorado baker who had won a narrow U.S. Supreme Court victory over his refusal to make a wedding cake for a gay couple on Thursday lost his appeal of a ruling in a separate case that he violated a state anti-discrimination law by not making a cake to celebrate a gender transition.
lol, looks like the real scumbag can't discriminate so easily.

Is there any reason why this won't again go to the Supreme Court (which is of course now even more partisan far-right than it was when this thread started)?
Quite amusing how the US got rid of a monarch in order to replace it with a panel of 9 monarchs.

There's not really such a thing as karma, but if there was...
As it is, something tells me Incorruptible isn't coming back (if he wasn't permanently banned). He was that angry breed of hard-right conservative that's particularly scary, the sort who's one conspiracy video away from a rampage.
This will 100% go to the supreme court and I expect more Calvinball.

Same reason people kept doing sit ins and lunch counters. You have to actively expose and fight against discrimination.
