Just because I went to school and learned how to do hair, skin and nails doesn't mean that I have to provide all of the services that I was trained to do.You have no right to refuse a person on account of their gayness, no more so than the color of their skin..no matter how much money it costs you to start your salon. That's totally irrelevant, as is the "art" business.
White people don't get relaxers. I don't do relaxers. So you're saying I have to stock my salon with relaxer chemicals on the off chance someone might come in and want one and that I have to give them one because they ask for it? Wrong. And if they want to claim discrimination, bring it. I wouldn't be stocking supplies for services I don't intend on performing regardless of someone's color or sexual orientation. So if a black person wants to rant and rave because I refuse to provide a service to them that I don't keep supplies for, they will lose.
There are special types of salons that only deal with hair color. They do nothing else. You literally cannot go into those salons asking for services that they don't provide. Being gay or black, white, red, or purple has nothing to do with it. The fact that a gay person might get disgruntled because they don't get what they want at that place doesn't mean it's discrimination. Again - refer to my post about a person wanting to take their hair up ten levels in one session. Besides, if they are coming into my salon and I have no idea that they are gay, they can't very well claim discrimination on that basis, now can they? Not all gay people are out in the open with it nor are all gay people constantly flaunting the fact that they are gay.
