bear no personal responsibility for operating the business she chose to go into in a law-abiding manner ? My beliefs may, hypothetically, be that fundamentalist Christians are dangeous and abhorrent sinners, but one of the requirements of my oath of office is that I must treat all who come before me equally and without discrimination. I can also say I am forced by law to act against my conscience by having to "participate" in their sin. If I choose to violate my oath, I can be removed, and should be. It is no different for a business owner. If you choose to do business somewhere where the law forbids you to discriminate, yet you choose to so discriminate, you must be willing to bear the consequences.

The purpose of government is not thought control. Freedom means the freedom to have thoughts the majority may disagree with.
