22. A clash of religious beliefs. There are churches

that support LBGTQ+.

And there are people who discriminate against LBGTQ+ people on the basis of religious belief.

So now it looks like they don't do business with each other. Freedom of expression and of religion.

Or some can just refuse to do business with MAGAs and anti LBGTQ+ on the basis of not wanting to. Freedom of expression.

How far can this go? Will Christian grocery businesses refuse to carry bagels or kosher hot dogs? Will Jewish restaurants refuse to hire or serve Christians, Muslims, etc.? Will non Christians refuse to shop at stores that play Christmas music in December?
