Well yess... Being a human individual in this country entitles you to believe and speak how you want. Nazis are still humans, despite their behavior

Yes, Nazis have Constitutional rights.

They are not a protected class, which means you're allowed to do things like not hire Nazis without running afoul of Federal discrimination law.

I can be fired for being a Nazi, or a redhead, or a comic book fan. I cannot be fired for my skin color, or my national origin, or my religion. That's how protected classes work.

Okay, sorry, you're bringing in firing, but I'm talking about baking cakes as an individual proprietor of a business. If the claim is 'being conservative is not a proteted class'... okay, but religion certainly is, and my religion is more conservative than mainstream conservatism, yet I've still been subjected to facebook censorship. So, can I claim Facebook must let me post content, just like Phillips must bake a cake, because of my protected class status, religion?

If not, why not? If so, why? If the answer is not 'Yes facebook must publish', how do you square this away that the answer is 'Yes you must bake'.?
