Either that or get the government to force people to stop doing it. I'm not even sure which option I'd be for since I don't really believe that when government programs like that start they accomplish much that couldn't be accomplished without good education with no government force.
All I've stated is the fact that not forcing a business to do something isn't protecting it and that's a very mafioso like philosophy to have about the situation.
I don't know either. For the most part I really like just letting the businesses be bigoted douchebags and lose all their clients due to boycotting. But that leaves some people very vulnerable. I can't imagine being trans in a part of the country where everyone is a bigoted douchebag especially if you can't afford to move away. Should these people have a lower quality of life just because we don't like to force businesses to do things? Should we make that kind of sacrifice choosing a business' freedom over a person's dignity? I don't know. I don't think so.
