Inexplicaby, Judge Andrew Napolitano came out against the Arizona law that would "permit" business owners to discriminate against homosexuals.  I haven't read the law but from what I understand, the law allows businesses to discriminate against homosexuals.  The problem with the law is that it does not go far enough.  While this shouldn't be news to libertarians, individuals should have the right to discriminate against anyone for any reason.  Conservatives threw in the towel a long time ago when they stopped objecting to "civil rights" laws based on race.  They didn't want to appear racist.  As Republicans, they also tried to pivot the issue by pointing out that Democrats opposed Civil Rights more than Republicans. 

Either private property is protected or it's not.

Relinquish liberty for the purposes of defense in an emergency?
Why? It would seem that in an emergency, of all times, one needs
his greatest strength. So if liberty is strength and slavery is weakness,
liberty is a necessity rather than a luxury, and we can ill afford
to be without it—least of all during an emergency.

Any kind of discrimination is bad. The new pro discrimination might be a good start and we have to agree the initiatives.
