Does this fall under the left's "inclusion" or "understanding of other views"?

It’s a private business that can do what it wants, no?

Blu82

Not the argument, at all.

Not if they're a bakery that doesn't want to make a cake for a gay marriage.

You can’t find any differences between homosexuality and a hat?

I agree with APAG here. I find the banning of the hat childish and quite frankly cowardly. But, there is a difference between discriminating against somebody's sexual preference and somebody's political affiliation, in that one is federally protected and the other isn't.

I can find a difference between homosexuality and a hat, but I see no difference from restaurant that wants to ban someone because of a hat and a bakery that refuses to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Most of those bakeries had no problem with having gay customers they just didn't want to be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding. This restaurant is banning anyone who wears the hat under all circumstances.

For all the talk of inclusion that's the left has forced down our throats the last decade, making a distinction here is antithetical to those mores.

You want to actually be inclusive, fine. But don't be a fucking hypocrite when it doesn't serve your agenda.

Being a hypocrite doesn’t make you wrong.

I do not think the MAGA hat is a symbol for hate or like a KKK hood. I would prefer people not banning it but I understand why some do view it that way.

Maybe you guys should try doing a better job explaining your positions so it isn’t so easily confused with racism.

We all need to hear what the other person is saying and respect it

Not really

Both rely upon how the person identifies at a particular time.

Technically, you can't discriminate against a person for being straight either.

Let's take a moment to recognize the bravery

It hasn’t happened yet, but if you come to my restaurant wearing a MAGA cap, you aren’t getting served, same as if you come in wearing a swastika, white hood, or any other symbol of intolerance and hate.

With perhaps tens of dollars in lost business at stake, he chose to make a stand.

An individual being forced to do art for someone for any reason is aggression on that individual. Not surprised the leftists have no issue with it.

And this is how you justify whites only restaurants.

No, we don’t. Because libertarians can’t win elections.
