And there are some people whose sincere religious beliefs state that black skin is the mark of Cain, and that God separated the races and integration is contrary to his will. It does not matter if she bakes cookies for her grandkids and gives to charity, she CAN NOT refuse service based on those beliefs if she runs a for profit business. We have already had that fight.
You can be a bigot all you want in your private life. You can say your views stem from legitimate religious beliefs. And maybe they do. But when you open a business to the public you have to obey public accommodation laws. I don’t like people who wear skinny pants suits. I would prefer not to be around them. But if I open a business I have to serve them.
