Reply #95: No-one has a right to feel safe.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

A government should do its best to ensure that its citizens *are* as safe as possible (no-one is ever fully safe), and allow them to do things themselves to make themselves safer that would not be allowed for other reasons, but allowing people to take whatever precautions it takes to make them *feel* safe would be a very bad idea indeed.

I know of no bar that bans homosexuals, and I would very much hope that any one that did would be closed down. However, if bars are allowed to ban heterosexuals then there's no way that the reverse can't also be permitted.
