      I'm curious on your thoughts about this?

      When does your Freedom of Association cross the line and become discriminatory?

        You are choosing to leave not them. Not sure how that would be discrimination unless you are only doing it to certain types of people or something.

          That is the whole basis for the question - you ARE choosing because of certain types of people or something.

          And why do you say leaving?

            The thing that many people neglect is that the first amendment, and by extension, freedom of assembly/association, is aimed at restricting the powers of government, not delineating the freedoms of people. From a legal standpoint it doesn't matter if an implementation of freedom of association is discriminatory. Under the first amendment (assuming it is actually applied), there is nothing that the government can do. Society could ostracize you, but there should be no laws "abridging...the right of the people peaceably to assemble".

              Thank you! I agree with this completely.
