I don't consider those discriminatory acts. Of course you make choices on mates and friends....and that is a personal level.

I am talking about a policy that excludes a specific group of people from an arbitrary standpoint.

It is useless to go down this path because you are missing the entire point.

we have two sets of people wanting to use government in certain ways.

1 wants to use government to punish private companies for various discriminations of so called protected classes

1 group wants to protect certain private organizations (mainly religious groups) from being able to serve or refuse to serve whoever they want.

I think both groups are wrong. I think government should get out of it. But my point was that the vast majority of companies are not in the discrimination business anyways, and these laws are just grandstanding by both sides, but waste much of our resources. On top of that, today we have plenty of private resources to be able to shame whoever offends anyways (social media, boycotts, news media, etc.).
