You may remember the multiple bakers in America that decided they had the right to refuse customers who’s lifestyle they found objectionable. The media freak out and social media SJW’s harassed and sued some of those bakers out of business.
We now have those same media figures and leftist applauding fashion designer Sophie Theallet, who stated this week she will not be working for the soon to be First Lady Melania Trump as well as urging her fellow designers to do the same.
Theallet believes that her moral disagreement with Donald Trump gives her the right to refuse service to his family or any one she deems hateful, and I agree. Although when I agreed with the business rights of the bakers I was called homophobic or a crazy christian when I am neither.
This is the brutal hypocrisy of the modern left. The same anti-war people I stood by for most of the Bush administration protesting America’s illegal wars all the sudden left me standing alone when Obama came into office. I’m sure they will magically appear again after Obama’s wars become Trumps.
At one time or another we here at Don’t Comply end up on everyone’s hate list due to the fact that our fight for freedom does not drift in the wind dependent on who is in power. That is the price for being consistent, which is why you will never see that trait in any politician.

Actually, tolerance for discrimination and hate isn’t required by law or morality. Achieving justice through consistency is the reason we have laws, the author should learn how to interpret them, it might improve the collective moral compass of this website.

Considering the letter put forth by Ms. Theallet, she, and her company, may have been working under a contractual agreement. Most contracts have termination clauses that both parties can utilize, sometimes at-will as the letter seems to infer.
This relationship would be different than a brick-and-mortar business, like the bakers example the author mentioned, that is “open to the public”, which must provide business to the general public (rather than a non-public, private club which does not).
If she was under contract, as most fashion designers use, and used a clause within the agreement to terminate it (or if it was already set to expire upon Michelle’s exit from the White House), there would be no illegal discrimination nor legal challenge that could be successfully mounted against her.
Unless the author has knowledge and evidence of whether the fashion designer worked with the White House as an “open-to-the-public” type business rather than under contract, this article’s allegation of discrimination may not apply.

From what I understand, nude models aren’t covered under non-discrimination laws like sexual orientation is. Melania has no case to file a public accommodation suit.
