keep that crap out of cartoons.
No.
Nobody cares about your backwards, 1930s opinion. Stay in the dark ages if you like; the world moves on.
And provide a service, for whatever reason they want.
*Not entirely accurate but just highlighting your inconsistencies.
I think the general fear for many is that in quest to make other groups feel more included, those who have been included will start to be excluded. I feel like it’s a valid concern in some cases. As there has been a fair amount of games lately that in an effort to make non-binary feel included there was a distinct lack of masculine characteristics in the character creation processes. The desire of true equality isn’t a terrible thing, but I feel like the person we are currently talking to is more interested in the old status quo not changing.
Curious, did you have a issue with pepe lepew? Mickey and Minnie Mouse? Daffney and Donald Duck?
Neither was his. It is absolutely not legal to refuse service, for a number of reasons.
my backwards 1930s opinion keeps you away from kids.
Perfectly fine with that.
No, it doesn’t. The world disagrees with you. I work with kids every day.
IDK did you?
I know, as I mentioned just pointing out the inconsistencies of his opinion when it comes to applying the same standard for himself.
Have a right to refuse anyone they want.
Not at all, but I’m not the one saying relationships should be devoid in cartoons.
No, they dont. Are you living in an alternate universe?
Refuse service.
Too hard for you?
It was in actuality an exemption from general anti - discriminatory laws, so he’s right. This was an exception, and a close one at that.
Yeah… still no.
When refusing a customer is illegal
There are many anti-discrimination laws at the federal, state, and local level. Chief among these is the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in public accommodations.
Under Title VII of that federal law, no business is allowed to turn away a customer based on their status as a member of one of these protected classes. Based on recent court rulings, sexual orientation and gender identity are now also federally protected classes.
State laws and local governments may further extend protection to people based on their genetic information or political affiliation.
A well-known example is the case of a Colorado baker whom, based on his religious beliefs, refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. At the time, the federal Civil Rights Act didn’t protect people on the basis of sexual orientation, though Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws did.
In 2018, the Supreme Court narrowly ruled for the baker, but that decision did not prevent courts from ruling in favor of legal protections for gay people in the future. In 2020, the Supreme Court did provide extended Title VII protections to the LGBTQ community.
isn’t Title VII with regards to employment and not service? Just curious, I might be wrong, as I’ve mentioned I’m not American.
isn’t Title VII with regards to employment and not service?
I don’t think the quote meant that one lead directly to the other; I think they were just run-on examples. I just copy pasted the relevant bit, can’t even find the same link again now. Needless to say, the point that people can refuse service for any reason is simply and overtly wrong.
Not entirely wrong.
Can’t force a business to stay open. If a person truly wanted to they could just close up shop in order to refuse service.
Sure… if you are willing to close down your business you can probably illegally skirt the law and might not get sued if the link isn’t overt enough.
forcing a business to stay open could potentially violate a persons constitutional rights depending on the size of the business. You can’t just restrict a law abiding citizens ability to leave a location. If they cannot have the place open without them present. I don’t think it’d be constitutional to restrict them from leaving. It’d be tantamount to false imprisonment.
