Yes but here is the problem - what right do you have to tell them that they can't have their feelings? Because it offends you? Trust me there are many out there who are offended by something about you, and if we start telling people they can't be because ...

So long as they aren't hurting anyone let them be, because it hurts every else more if we start restricting things people want to do / be / feel.
They can have whatever "feelings" they want. The issue comes in when they try to force me to accept those feelings over facts. Everyone should have the right to refuse.

Seeing as you guys are experts on this stuff and told me that the compelled speech stuff was just the rantings of a lobster obsessed lunatic, what do you guys think of this.

Given it's not about compelled speech, but denial of service, the "lobster obsessed lunatic" is a red herring.

Obviously there'll be more to the case than what we can see from the reporting, including the evidence cited by both parties, but from what I can see the denial of service would be justified, in my view. I think the salon owner's objections and concerns are reasonable.

Yaniv also sounds like an *******.

Also learnt there is such a thing as a "brozilian".

How is it not compelled speech? This lunatic wants to force someone to accept a certain point of view of the world, then force them to act on it.

He should be sent to a psychiatric facility, like in the past for all mental illnesses. This pandering has to stop - it's just hurting mentally ill people.

Orbital Dawn keeps conflating immigration with illegal immigration, so I am surprised he sees such minute differences in this instance.

I just watched the video Lindsay Shepherd made about HIM and now I just want to hurt HIM badly.
Hopefully someone who has the ability takes it. Inciting violence? Don't care. HE is degrading society

Because compelled speech and accepting someone's world view are distinct categories from denial of service? This isn't hard to understand. It's about providing a service, and what grounds are reasonable for denying service. Yaniv wanted the salon to provide a service, the salon declined, reasonably in my view. Are you incapable of providing services to someone without accepting their "view of the world"?

That means that the Salon owner rightfully has the ability to decide on someone elses's gender. Which is bigoted and racist according to your pals in the left.

He has a dick, they don't wax dicks. He/she/ it should've accepted that and moved on.
