> Political speech is not protected. Sexual orientation is.

In what fucking world does political speech not deserve at least as much legal protection as being homosexual?

In any case, you're illustrating my point perfectly - it's all about "businesses have the right to exclude customers" until the customer happens to be someone HN likes, at which point the goalposts move wildly.

You’re free to express your political opinions. Everyone else is free to say how they feel, or say nothing at all. That’s politics.

Marriage equality was about equal treatment under the law. It was debated and decided and passed. You can’t generalize that to your imagined right to troll Twitter.

You’re either too whack to keep track of what we’re talking about or you’re intentionally going off topic.

The question is: do businesses have the right to reject customers?

If the context is political speech (which is critically important and deserves the most extreme legal protection), HN says “you’re fucked, Jack, business rules!”

If the context is gay marriage (which, saying this as a gay man, is not nearly as fundamentally important as free speech) HN says “fuck those businesses, they can’t kick you out!”

You keep attacking the HN strawman, I don't find it convincing.

You're the one that changed the subject to bakeries and marriage rights.
