Probably the teacher. I'd support law brought in that public service jobs i.e. medicine, education, government etc must serve all but surely that's already law in the sense of discrimination?
But people offering a taxi ride, photography etc? They can tell you to fuck off for the simple reason of not liking your voice on the phone or the look of your face. Why does the world insist on this delusion of forced love and happiness? And it's ironic as they are upset they can't have access to X so want to upset the person providing X and force them to provide it to people they don't want to?
Insanity.
The world is a mean place, always has been, always will be.
Do you think it's a good world if someone, say, can't use the nearest small grocery store or has a 50/50 chance that any given taxi will refuse to serve them, leaving them stranded for longer and regularly late as a result? All because maybe they look gay or trans or Muslim or whatever the right wing media is currently drumming up fear towards?
Your comment is about the perspective of the person providing the service, but what about the people being affected by the discrimination (who are often more vulnerable in the first place)? Do you not care about their experience? Their ability to experience the same quality of life as everyone else?
And sure, the world is a mean place, but why defend that? Why not try to make it at least a little bit better?
Yes
