I think the implication in all personal freedom discussions is: freedom so long as it doesn't unnecessarily harm others. You may have freedom of speech in America, but that doesn't protect the right to falsely yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

Sure, but that brings us right back to "does refusing service to someone harm them?"

Sure it does. Notice i said unreasonable harm. There is a clear distinction between refusing to take someone's wedding photo and providing someone with life saving care.

There are US Court cases that deal with this distinction.

Edit: i originally said unnecessarily as opposed to unreasonably... But the point still stands
