Not only did the legislature pass a "bathroom bill" to match NC and Mississippi, but that also moved forward with another bill that would allow therapists to discriminate against LGBT patients and refuse to serve them based on "religious beliefs".

Seemed pretty obvious to me and your refusal to answer the question speaks volumes.
So Fred, since you clearly don't have to take on every case that is presented to you, based on your posts would it be fair to say that you would welcome legislation that forced you to take on every client that came a- calling?

Hmm, states where mosques have been picketed and/or the target of arson are the ones advocating the right to "religious freedom?" You know what guys, I'm starting to think there may be a bit of hypocrisy going on here!

I am sorry, but I assumed everyone here had a middle school level understanding of civil rights in America.
As an attorney, just like every other business in the United States, I can not refuse to represent a client based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
Both you and Bfine have been deeply involved in debates about this same issue in the past. This concept has been explained to you repeatedly. I just thought Bfine was kidding with this type of question. I could not imagine that he was being serious.

Well, it is okay to run out the Muslims because, as Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey said, "you could even argue whether being a Muslim is actually a religion, or is it a nationality, way of life, cult, whatever you want to call it."
"religious freedom" does not apply to Islam because it is not a religion.

Continued it to the point that you don't have a clue about the basic civil rights of American citizens?
Maybe I overestimated the Kentucky public school system.

You have nothing but an opinion if your knowledge is correct or not. Just because a liberal yells discrimination does not automatically mean a law is such. There is a vetting process where these laws are considered and interpreted when needed.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure every Middle School goes into the entire process in depth, so you might be somewhat in the dark.

No, but when a liberal cites an exact law it does.
Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Here is a chance for you to flaunt your detailed, in depth knowledge of this issue.

Quote:Tennessee GOP leader threatens tax hike on companies that oppose anti-trans bathroom bill
Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick ® on Tuesday threatened to financially punish companies which opposed a bathroom bill aimed at transgender people by stripping their tax breaks.
Although McCormick agreed that the House “did the right thing” by shelving the bill on Monday, he defended the intent of the bill, which would have forced students at public schools and colleges to use bathrooms corresponding with the gender on their birth certificate, according to the Times Free Press.
During a floor debate on Tuesday, McCormick blasted business leaders for focusing on the bathroom bill instead of “a full-fledged gang war going on in Chattanooga.”
“This weekend we had four people shot in Chattanooga,” McCormick said. “But “our Chamber of Commerce is writing us letters about the bathroom bill. Now the reason they’re not all fired up about the city of Chattanooga’s handling of the gang problem is because the city of Chattanooga sends them money and funds their budget. And we don’t. Guess what. We ain’t gonna.”
“All these companies who tried to blackmail us over this thing, when they come for their corporate welfare checks [economic incentives] next year, we need to have a list out and keep an eye on it,” the majority leader added.

So, the response from this guy to the companies that threatened to take their business elsewhere over this law is to guarantee they will take their business elsewhere?
Brilliant.
