So imagine you’re a baker. You think gay marriage is a sin. A gay couple comes in and asks for a cake. You tell them it’s against your community, religious and moral guidelines. Then you tell them that there are half a dozen other bakeries in the area who will gladly make the cake. But you must take your business elsewhere. A few days later, you receive a court order to bake the cake or you will be closed down.
Now imagine you’re a You Tuber. You post a right wing propaganda piece. The admins tell you that your opinion is against their community, political and moral guidelines. It has been removed. And you must take your business elsewhere. You are frustrated but have no recourse. Why? Why is one allowed to discriminate and the other not? Make your best (and most respectful) argument.
Full disclosure: I am in favor of full gay rights. So those of you looking to play gotcha. Sorry about your luck.
If political status can be protected then so can gamer status (PC vs Console), or Transmission preference (manual vs auto), Brand Loyalty (BMW vs Mercedes).
Not an apples to apples comparison. The government has a vested interest in people not being persecuted because of how they vote. And that applies no matter which side you vote for.
Voting is confidential. Protection of political leanings doesn’t affect how a person votes. It only protects what a person says they feel. So yes it is an apples to an apples comparison
