Because that actually -would- be a slippery slope. There are no exemptions in the civil rights act for any particular type of product. The law would be pointless if there were..suddenly every sandwich and beer would be "artisanal" in a unquely discriminatory sense..and hey, didn;t a craftsman lovingly create that lunch counter after all?
@johan,
Federal appeals courts (and the supreme court) have ruled otherwise. It was a big hullabaloo for both sides, one with an audible sigh of relief..and the other moaning about teh gays having become a protected class...which, ofc, means that they can;t be freely discriminated against anymore.
Boohoo.
That;s the telling part about these strongly held beliefs. It;s counted as a loss and existential threat that they are no longer allowed to discriminate on that basis..and must either lie or at least keep the quiet parts quiet. If civil rights win..a certain subset of christianity loses - in their minds and in their own words and appeals .
