But a MAGA supporter is not the same characteristic as being LGQTB. They are not equivalent. Some countries have protected classes which I think is best. Political affiliation is not protected. Sexual orientation is. A protected class is saying that infringing the freedoms of others based on these characteristics is a great threat to freedom. The country needs to explicitly state it won't tolerate it, because it will erode the freedom far greater than not allowing it. You can discriminate against someone based on choices they make, but not on inherent characteristics they have.

Likewise saying you are hiring a black photographer isn't the same as saying you're not hiring a white photographer. The distinction is important. You're not saying you exclude a person based on an inherent/protected characteristic. The exclusion can be inferred but it doesn't actually mean the exclusion exists. You can say you will hire a black photographer does not mean you won't consider or hire any other. But saying you will not hire a white photographer does concretely state your exclusion which shouldn't be a factor in business in any free Democratic country.

I would think this is a choice that doesn't have a right answer. All choices suck. You infringe on someone regardless of choice. But saying that I think the choice with least harm is choosing to have protected classes that can't be infringed on vs allowing people to disallow people access to services based on these protected classes. I would prefer a person who feels they will infringe on those rights to not choose to be in the market offering services where they can discriminate based on sex, race, sexual orientation or other traits that should be protected. But if they feel they don't want to serve plumbers or Democrats or movie producers all the power to them
