It matters to artists when we get to a place where the boneheads in office are the ones who get to decide what's art and what isn't.

Quote:What would stop all restaurants from denying service to homosexuals on the grounds that their dishes are pieces of art?

Umm... Greed?

Seriously though I see both sides of this. Clearly there is a need for  some protections. But only some. The free enterprise system and the desire for monetary success that drives it really does a pretty good job of keep all of these sorts of 'what if all the restaurants refused to serve <insert group>?' scenarios from ever seeing the light of day.  You show me one merchant that doesn't money from <group> and I'll show you ten others who will be more than happy to take their money. There really are some scenarios that take care of themselves well enough to not need more laws on the books 'just in case'.
