For a long time, I have been ambivalent about this subject. I didn't want to hijack purplehood's thread, but I thought about an analogous situation which helped me solidify my views on the subject.

Joe's Restaurant is a little deli that has the best pastrami sandwiches outside of New York City. Joe's Restaurant has a sign on the door that says "No Jews Allowed." Of course, this is not a legal sign, but it clearly indicates that Joe doesn't want "that kind" in his restaurant.

- It's highly unlikely that Joe doesn't know that his sign isn't legal, but does really that matter? Maybe he just posted it to pacify his Christian patrons.

- Would you eat at Joe's if you weren't Jewish?

- Would you eat at Joe's if you were Jewish?

- Would you tell Joe that his sign was illegal?

- Would you tell Joe that you won't eat at his restaurant unless he takes down the sign?

- Would you eat at Joe's after he took down his sign?

- If you were Jewish would you "sneak in" just to eat their excellent pastrami sandwich?

By the way, I believe that people have a right to associate or not associate with whomever they want.
