Again, another side question came up while discussing and debating the source of bias with danielpalos
TheProgressivePatriot MadChemist or anyone else who wants to help is welcome to try
The Question was whether Govt can force a Business to include services or images/advertising on its website they do not believe in, ban them from posting beliefs or explanations related to why they do or don't provide certain services, and regulate advertising or freedom of speech or religion of businesses.
I thought the Hobby Lobby case defended the ability of business or corporation owners to make decisions based on their beliefs, and they DIDN'T have to be officially "churches or religious organizations" to exercise religious freedom even though their entity is a BUSINESS open to the public like Hobby Lobby.
My side question in this thread:
Would danielpalos still approve of Govt regulating business websites if it was an LGBT counseling business "forced by the same law" to
* BAN that business from advertising or expressing their moral beliefs about supporting LGBT identity, orientation, practice, expression or policies as equal human rights and inclusion
* Advertise and include "exgays" and "healing reparative therapy" (in order not to "discriminate against exgays") even though the business staff and owners "do not believe in such therapy"
When the shoe is on the other foot, when the same policy is applied to LGBT beliefs, are you okay with GOVT forcing that?
Do LGBT businesses "need to file as religious" before advertising their moral or faith based beliefs that LGBT is "naturally born and should be included equally not subject to therapy."
Do Businesses that advertise support with BLM or Rainbow flags need to file as Religious?
If they want to "advertise to the public" does the Accommodation law mean their websites could be forced by GOVT to
* advertise images of ALM if they advertise BLM
* advertise "reparative healing therapy" with "images of exgays" if they advertise images of LGBT and counseling to come out as LGBT

Can you admit you have a bias and would only support Govt forcing Christian businesses to accommodate LGBT services but would not agree for Govt to force LGBT businesses to provide Christian healing services for exgays?
