My point, which seems to have gone right over your head, was that civil rights laws are necessary to stop people from abusing the system. When put in the context of a couple of lesbians trying to get a wedding cake, it seems stupid. Freakin Karen should have just got a cake from somewhere else and let the religious bakers live their life, right? The problem is that it doesn't have to be cake bakers, Lesbians, or black people. It could be discrimination against religious people, straight people, white people, handicapped, whatever, and those goods and services could be things people need to live. You imply those gas stations or stores in question would suffer if they pulled a move like that, and yet pre-civil rights movement in the south, that shit happened all the time. I don't think anyone wants the government to take over the business sector, nor do they want a full-blown laissez faire government letting assholes be assholes. I know it would make it much easier to justify your point if I was a full blown antifa commie trying to bring down capitalism, but the fact is just because I want to see some laws to help people not get screwed over because of the way they were born does not make me so.
