Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Colorado Baker

If you don't see the difference between being alt-right and simply being gay, I don't know what to tell you man.

That kind of sounds like you are saying you can be predjudice  depending on who it is. It’s easy to say that for those you like, that you can’t discriminate, but the test is when you have to apply it to this you do not.

But what I meant, is that there isn’t a difference, where the same reasoning wouldn’t apply(if one is consistent in their logic).

If a nazi-shirt-wearing, loudmouthed asshole with a huge cross hanging around his neck comes into your restaurant, you can ask him to leave based on his clothing, based on him being a nazi, and based on him being a disruptive asshole. You can't say "we don't serve christians here, you have to leave."

Same goes the other way - if a gay couple comes to your restaurant, cause a huge ruckus and start shouting about how Bernie's the messiah, you can ask them leave based on everything except "we don't serve gays, get out."

You aren't allowed to discriminate against someone for simply who they are - generally seen as things they don't have control over, like race, sex, orientation, age etc.  Political views, behaviors, clothing, etc are not part of those protected groups. We've seen in the past that if you're allowed to discriminate based on things like race, minorities get a HELL of a lot less access to just about everything from jobs to services to healthcare. The whole point of protected groups is trying to mitigate that imbalance and secure a modicum of equal opportunity/access.

It would be great if anti-discrimination laws were unnecessary, but currently they are, because without them groups suffer unfairly simply based on things they can't control.
