RUFKM? Judge orders Colorado Cake Maker to serve gay couples

[Rucker61]

So, a couple of years ago I wanted to get the grips of my Colt personalized with a Pentagram...
I started contacting different businesses and a couple of them told me flat out that they did not feel comfortable with that design.
Fair enough.
So, I moved on to the next, until I found somebody that would.
THE END

They weren't offering it to people that they liked and denying you; they would have denied everyone. There's the difference.

Not really. CRS 24-34-601 simply states that a business may not discriminate due to the usual protected classes.
It says nothing about selective service.

Example- a business may select that they will not make a sale to anyone in a green shirt. Stupid? Yes, but not unlawful as long as they are not doing so because of "protected class" status.

That example isn't that silly, since it's exactly what bars do to prevent trouble with gangs.

It's still a limitation on the "right to refuse service." TheGrey seemed to be implying that he had an unfettered right to choose who he does business with and who he does not do business with, but that's not true, at least not for a business that is generally open to the public.

BP already touched on this, but that statute doesn't say you can't refuse business to someone because you think they are an asshole.

I do this daily.

Wait... TheGrey is a he. Why have I thought this entire time that TheGrey is a she?!

Because she is a she.

Technically you can refuse service to Democrats... political affiliation is not a protected class. Oh, but you pretty much said the same thing... carry on.

Wasn't there a restaurant somewhere that right after the election had signs on the door that said "if you voted for Trump we don't want your business?" That would be an example of "legal" discrimination.
