When people justify anti-discrimination legislation they justify it on the basis of "human rights" and "freedom", which all seems very fair and clever.
But how can this be reconciled with ideas of liberty, and ideas of free will? How can people be free when they are not allowed to act as they please?
Murder and acts that damage another person physically or their property obvuiously need to be banned, because that impinges on another's autonomy.
But how can people be free when they are told that they cannot not employ people because of their own personal bigotry? How can people justify giving one person more "rights" than another?
