Businesses SHOULD be Allowed to Discriminate

No matter the reason, private businesses should have the right to deny service to anyone or any group for any reason.

If they're truly on the wrong side of the issue, the market will quickly inform them of their mistake through lost business, at which point, the business will if its willing to fall on its sword or change its stance.

The next thing you know, the government will force Americans to buy a particular product, like health insurance... oh, wait a second.

    We provide pony rides for kids' events. One particular cultural group has proven time and again to be unable to accept our rules for safety. Every single time we have done events for "those people" something has gone wrong, occasionally seriously wrong. My words on safe behavior are ignored, as if I had not spoken. We no longer accept their business.

      In your case, you are using discrimination to make a logical decision to not provide services to a group. In this situation discrimination is a reasonable judgment.
      The word discrimination is not always a bad word, despite what the progressives would have us think, just as the word selfish is not a bad word.

    Yes, discrimination is usually a bad business model and the free market will fix that.
    It raises the question, is a boycott not also discrimination?
    If a group actively promotes NOT doing business with someone does that business not have the right to sue them for discriminating against them?
    Goose-Gander. If I'm forced to sell a product to whomever then everyone should be forced to buy from me.
    People shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against Haters.

    I own a business and will do my very best to please everyone period. Call it ego or call it a wise business decision. There are some clients who test you and you can always up your fees to cover the extra trouble.
