Religious can deny service to gays? I can deny service to religious bigots! SCOTUS conservative majority rules in favor of web designer that denied service to gay couple. (kbin.social)

Based on this SCOTUS ruling, as an #atheist, I can now deny service to a religious person... I mean, it should go both ways, if a religious person can deny service to a gay couple, I can deny service to a religious bigot!

Though, if a seller tells me they don't want to provide me service because of their beliefs I will happily take my money elsewhere, but what if the only pharmacy in town wants to deny me service because of their beliefs? That should not be allowed.

Actually you can — if you’re in the “creative” class of jobs. So you could say “My beliefs don’t allow me to…”

decorate a cake for that event/message
design a website for your business
draw up plans for your house or church

Etc etc. it’s a can of worms and it’s ridiculous.
