[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This ruling does not affect the gay community in any shape, form or fashion.

Bigots don't care about the technicalities of the case and have been emboldened to discriminate further against the LGBT commmunity. Here's a hair salon saying they will reject trans customers now. I'm sure we'll see more of this.

Apples and oranges. In the website case, it is not about the customer but about the product. In the hair salon case, it is about the customer. If that one becomes a case, I would likely be on the side of the trans person, and I’m actually pretty critical of trans activism. Though from the article, it’s unclear whether they would actually refuse to serve the trans person, or they are just letting trans people know they will be treated like dirt if they show up. In either case, that salon owner is horrible. [/quote]

I know it's apples to oranges, but bigots don't know or care, that's the point. This shows that they are taking it as license to discriminate against LGBT people for a broad range of services. One would hope this general case of discrimination would be ruled against, but that will take years. How many LGBT people are going to be denied service in general before cases can make it through the courts? [/quote]
