Transexuals

It's not a case of protecting the business vs protecting the people being discriminated against.  

It's either letting businesses hire who they want or having governments force them to hire people.

That's a bit of a false dichotomy. In America, we have these protections already, and for good reason. The government is not forcing anyone to hire anyone. What they are saying is that, all things being equal for two qualified individuals, you cannot disqualify someone from a position because of their sex, their race, their gender, their age, their ethnicity, and in some places their sexual orientation. You also cannot kick someone out of housing, or a public space for those reasons.

The NC government made it illegal to create protections for LGBT+ individuals. It is legal in NC to evict a tenant for nothing more than that they are gay and your religion doesn't agree with gays.

Calling the absence of interference against someone protecting them is like a mafia style philosophy.

Abaris pointed out, erroneously, that I'm saying this because I'm for or against choice or being open for choice or something which isn't the case.  I'm just pointing out that I don't the the word protection fits into what you're describing.

I don't know what any of that word salad means.

Also it was laws that drove a lot of the segregation before the anti segregation laws.  Because before that you had the Jim crow laws so in my opinion that's just the government pandering to what people want, which would have happened naturally anyway in a free market society.

Yes, the government created laws based on the idea that blacks were "less than," propagated that myth, created a national system of racism, and then took a look at itself. If you believe that without government interference, there wouldn't be some places still in Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, and Alabama that would still allow people to be kicked out of an establishment just for being black, you are out of your mind.

I am only slightly brown, being half black, and I've walked into a little hole in the wall restaurant in Hohenwald, TN, and told to get out because they don't serve towelheads. As I left, I was called the Taliban and some mispronounced versions of Al-Qaeda. That shit still exists, and it's a good thing it's illegal, or else segregation would very much still be a legal and practiced thing in some places in the south.
