I can be discriminated against for being fat but that doesn't make it illegal or allow me any financial recourse when a theater has tiny seats. I get told to lose some weight and shut up. Discrimination still occurred, but that doesn't mean there is a legal case. Not too difficult of a concept.

The concept is simple, but of course in this instance we are talking about a legal finding. Take a second and realize the example you just provided was against an individual. As you say: Not too difficult of a concept. 

If you come to me and say: I want a T-Shirt that says "Being obese is happiness" and I say I cannot in good conscious print that shirt using my resources and skills because I am aware of the health issues associated with obesity. I never say I won't print that shirt for you because you're fat. Were you discriminated against because of weight? 

Now that you answer that, consider the exact same scenario but now the customer is thin? Was he discriminated because he was thin?
