    Yes. You should have dominion over your property and the freedom to associate or not with whomever for whatever reason.

    The only legitimate restriction on this is, in the case of a business, you should be required to advertize your discrimination on on your storefront. If you wont serve nazis, for example, a sign saying 'we dont serve nazis' should be clearly visible on both the front door of your business and the home page of your website. But certainly you should not be forced to serve or associate with nazis or anyone else you find similarly distateful.

    No it does not have any such right. The public has NO riughts at all it is merely an unspecified number of people.

    Every home uses sidewalks roads etc yet those same rules do not apply.

    You have the RIGHT to be a bigot or racist and use of public facilities changes NOTHING.

    Wrong.

    You are ignoring facts. Discrimination is nothing more than exercise of preferrence and no one has the right to dictate anothers preferrences.

    You are the one engaging in juveniule debate because ypou have no valid argument

    It could happpen whether we allow it or not.'

    Thought crime laws ( anti discrimination laws. ) are not ethical they are a violation of basic human rights. My rights are not contingent on others needs.

    That is not a legitimate restriction either unless you wish to impose the same restriction on every consumer.

    There should be no protected group. The very idea is government discrimination.

    The people who want to get the non-covid vaccinated fired and spent years discriminating against Trump supporters, and who currently hold political prisoners for the crime of entering open doors in the US capital are very worried about discrimination.

    The difference between your opinion here and the opinion of the KKK?

    Nothing.

    Same ideology. Different target.

    Some animals are more equal than others.

    As long as you hate the group in question, you're just fine with discrimination and less than equal treatment under the law.

    Businesses normally don't care what race patronizes their store. Even back in Jim Crow South days....they were forced to segregate by laws put in place by Southern Democrats.
