The same "discrimination" that you are feeling if you wanted to be a miner. Are you upset at the mining industry because it is bad for our asthma? As a worker you know the risks associated with your job and you accept them. People with bad backs aren't discriminated against in the roofing industry, they just don't do roofing, if they are smart.

The problem is the government is stepping in and telling you how to run your business. Along these same lines the government is saying that they can tell you not to admit people that wear red shirts to your establishment. If an individual owner wants to ban red shirts at their establishment that is 100% fine with them and they can do what they want, but NEVER should the government step in and tell them they have do to that.

Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.
