I agree that government intervention in cases of discrimination are very tricky. On one side of it, you've got a business owner with malicous intent towards one group that morall should not be allowed. On the other side of things you've got a businessman with no malicous intent being sued because he choose a person of one group over another simply because he personally felt one was more qualified than the other.
I feel for both sides of the issue. I just hate the idea of government forcing someone to do something. Allowing private businesses to hire whomever they wish to hire seems like the least amount of forcing from the government.
This is a real grey area though. I mean people defend a gay person's right to be with other gays as a personal preference yet people do not defend a person's personal preference when it comes to hatred/discrimination. Like you said it is a tricky issue.
Everyone has the right to life, libery, and happiness. I will defend these rights to the end, even if I don't agree with the method personally as long as it doesn't infringe upon another person's same rights. So, does discrimination at the job level really affect someone's right to happiness? I really can't say.
