Because I dont understand why you think people should be able to treated differently because of their skin color, religion or sexual orientation.

If someone doesnt want to serve everyone then have private club. What is the violence you speak of by the state?

Law enforcement basically.
Even if the punishment is just a fine or something the fine is enforced by the threat of what happens when you don't pay and when you keep disobeying(I.e jail, tazers, getting shot, etc.) .
I don't blame you in particular for not getting this basic as it is . I passe high school and i learned all of this on the internet.

If you dont like the law challenge it in court that its unfair or defy it and tell the employee to sue. Discrimination is not a right.

Who I sleep with is none of my employers business and they do not have right to fire me over it as it does not affect my ability to do the job

Because the alternative is the state bringing it's violence to bear.

The idea of a "private club" concedes that the thing you're concerned with isn't actually that important, you accept that it should be possible to treat people differently based on their skin color religion or sexual orientation.

I have spelled this out several times but the executive is an organ of violence. Laws are enforced by violence and the ultimate threat of violence.

Sometimes state "violence" is better than private violence. Discriminatory private violence is not better than public justice.

If you don't mind i would like to do my own research on this before attacking this assertion.
However only San seems to be the one saying these types of things and he isn't what you call an accurate measurement of anyone's opinion other than his own.

San is the one who's here, though. I can't argue with people who aren't posting in the thread.

Well it could be not but only the sense that a state may decide not to enforce a fine.

The employer holds power and should be held accountable for that reason. But I do not think groups should be allowed to discriminate on the basis of race either.

You've got it so backwards it's laughable. You have no right to be employed. Stop acting so entitled.

Maybe not directly, but firing someone for being black can be considered institutional violence. It effectively excludes them from employment. Same as banishment was often considered a death penalty.

Often a very minor difference. If you can't work, you may be homeless.

Nope. That's not what violence means. Stop perverting words to fit your narrative.

You did have a right to be employed in the Soviet Union. If you don't now, that is... Correctable

Nope. There's no such thing as a right to employment. Employment is not a natural right. In that case employment was a privilege granted by one of the most murderous, evil societies ever to exist. Not exactly a good way to make your case.

Institutional discrimination has usually been accompanied by actual violence. Your point is moot.

Trans people are discriminated against, AND they are mudered at a higher rate. The two are objectively correlated.

Only violence is violence. Stop perverting language to fit your post modern bullshit.

Correlation does not imply causation. The only people to blame for violence are the ones who commit or incite it.

Therefore i should have to hide my sexual orientation because my employer doesnt like gay people? Why should I have to worry about being fired because I posted a photo on social media?

You should face fines for bigotry. Why should you be denied service for someone you'd didnt choose?

Again. Wrong. Question.

Why should you be compelled by threat of violence to interact with people you do not want to interact with?

If you are more easily murdered it is often because you are disempowered. If you discriminate against trans people on that basis you are responsable for their plight, whether you like it or not.
