Right? This is obviously just targeting LGBTQ people; it only applies to discrimination towards us. Imagine a Black-owned business discriminating against a white person. Would the Supreme Court ruling have been the same?

I decided today that I'm a Radical Therian. We believe there haven't been real Christians since the reign of Constantine the Great. Real Christians get fed to lions. One of our core beliefs is that Christians should be fed to lions. If they are truly without fault, then they shall be spared like Daniel in the lion's den. Any attempt to refute this or deny us the right not to serve Christians will be considered oppression and a violation of our first amendment rights.

If they demand to be identified as Christians, then put forth your demand to identify as a wolf.

Religion is a protected class, religious expression is protected. Better to just refuse service to MAGA heads/Trump fans, guaranteed to be bigots and you don't get sued. Political affiliation isn't protected. I have a public facing business and just put that clause on my website.
