I would support your right to do exactly that.
Never made sense to me why anyone would want to give money to a business that does not support their community.
I remember years ago I went to a little coffee shop near Pioneer Square. I was wearing a USMC baseball cap.
The barista said he didn’t want to serve me because he didn’t like the military.
Cool with me, I simply went somewhere else. Why would I even want to give that business my money?
It means that when someone from the Westboro Baptist Church comes to your business and asks you to use your talents to express some point of view that you find hateful and offensive, you can legally decline to do so despite the laws in this city and state that prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion. This is a good thing.
@7 In Seattle, military or veteran status is a protected class. Even political ideology is a protected class. https://www.seattle.gov/civilrights/civil-rights-enforcement/protected-classes#politicalideology_x137879
You cannot kick someone out of your business for wearing a MAGA hat... but at least now you don't have to promote their message.
Evilungelical ChrISIStian businesses should be required to prominently post notices on their websites and storefronts that “We discriminate against gay men and lesbians.”
I wanna be sure never to give my munnie to bigoted, hate-KKKrayzed, sanctimonious trash.
I've decided that my products and services are no longer available to the Taliban or their American branch, the "fundamentalist Christians".
Hey, fair is fair.
Also priests. None of those.

@4 you could already do that since they are not a protected class.

@8 Westboro baptists are none of those things
