that doesn't make any sense.
"we can't modify our principles based off of case studies except for where the case studies obviously show our principles need to be modified"
that's basically what you just said.

I'm going to make this real simple for you:
You can't make an argument in PRINCIPLE that a business should be required to hire/serve homosexuals without also justifying in PRINCIPLE that a business should be required to hire/service naked people. These are derived from the SAME PRINCIPAL.

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

You can't possibly think that a dress code is the same as discrimination based on sexual orientation. Can you?

The distinction is simple. Being unclothed is a choice. Being gay is not a choice.
Further, being unclothed presents potential economic and health problems. Serving a gay person does not.
The fundamental distinction is that one is discriminating against a trait that causes no harm and is inherent, the other discriminates against a trait that causes harm and is a choice.
Let's move on from this argument please.
