Can you explicitly point out where I'm advocating anyone giving up rights? Because I'm not. I'm advocating that individual rights be balanced, which is how a constitutional republic works.
Should an individual be allowed to run their business their way? Yes they should. Should an individual be free from discrimination, equal under the law, able to live their private life the way they want and only be judged at work on the quality of their work? Yes they should. So what happens when those two ideals come into conflict? That's the problem. It isn't about group anything, it is due process, it is individual rights, it is enshrining the equality we envisioned in our founding documents into law and process. And it's a balance.
