    That's compelled speech ... essentially requiring you
    to support somebody elses political views whereas
    the constitution says you have a right to freely express
    your own political opinions (even Bork would back that
    minimalist interpretation) so don't think it'll stand up in
    any court - even in NY.

    This isn't about you (or any individual acting in a social situation).

    So where does it SAY anything about the law applying to employers only?
    (Ok, this is obvious for #5 only).
    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to landlords?
    (#2 and #6 could apply here. Perhaps #4 also if you have dress codes
    for common areas like a swimming pool.)
    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to schools?
    (#2 and #4 and #6 could apply here)
    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to store (restaurant) owners? (#2, #4, and #6 could apply)
    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to social situations?
    (#1 could apply. So could #4 if you routinely don't let males show up
    nude at your teen's birthday party but allow female strippers.
    #8 could also apply for such things as "stealing (or sleeping with) my boyfriend".)
    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to complete strangers?
    (#1 could easily apply, in the form of failing to refer to them AT ALL.)

    Courts tend to interpret laws broadly: consider what Congress has done with the "interstate commerce" clause in the constitution.

    It's basically about employers, which you should have been able to
    figure out from numbers 4 and 5.

    So where does it SAY anything about the law applying to employers only?

    It says
    <quote>
    Gender discrimination is prohibited in employment, housing, public accommodations, discriminatory harassment, and bias-based profiling by
    police.
    </quote>

    This doesn't apply to you in your private capacity as an individual.

    (Ok, this is obvious for #5 only).
    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to landlords?
    (#2 and #6 could apply here. Perhaps #4 also if you have dress codes
    for common areas like a swimming pool.)

    Is your pool a public accommodation? Then you can't discriminate.

    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to schools?
    (#2 and #4 and #6 could apply here)

    Schools aren't listed, except as employers.

    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to store (restaurant) owners? (#2, #4, and #6 could apply)

    Accommodations is a term of art for the handicapped.

    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to social situations?

    Right up there, where it says where it does apply.

    (#1 could apply. So could #4 if you routinely don't let males show up
    nude at your teen's birthday party but allow female strippers.

    Nonsense. Your teen's birthday party isn't in the purview of the law.

    #8 could also apply for such things as "stealing (or sleeping with) my boyfriend".)
    Where does it SAY anything about not applying to complete strangers?
    (#1 could easily apply, in the form of failing to refer to them AT ALL.)

    Retaliation is a term of art for employment discrimination. It doesn't
    apply to your boyfriend.

    Courts tend to interpret laws broadly: consider what Congress has done with the "interstate commerce" clause in the constitution.

    Cite me an instance where any discrimination law has affected anyone in
    their private capacity and we'll talk.
