Yes, but I, as an individual, do not have to recognize your right to free speech. As an employer, if I even see you as much as wink at a union member, you will be fired immediately. How’s that for free speech?
Your right to free speech is only in regards to government retaliation. You can still say what you want, but not without potential retaliation since no one outside of the government need recognize that right.
That is a public accommodation law which is based on the idea that there are limited choices for purchasing physical goods and therefore there shouldn’t be discrimination based on certain criteria as set forth by the regulatory agencies of the State when operating under a business license.
The internet is literally nearly infinite when it comes to disseminating speech.
It is hard to argue that a physical good is the same as the 1’s and 0’s of the Internet for distribution of speech.
■■■■■■■■ those suits were in large metropolitan areas with numerous bakers. They were not limited in choice. Being that some of them won do to what you actually said, “it was their forum”, as an artist. your hypocrisy is is shining.
You’re justifying your own hypocrisy. Those companies uses the internet for their existence, and that internet highway uses public access. It uses roads. bridges and other utilities all subsidized by our goverment.
Much like libs said that baker using public roads that brings them the goods needed…and customer base that he needs.
