Does the same apply to engineers, for example?

Should an engineer be denied a license or renewal because he belongs to the Klan?

I am not trying to be adversarial here. The discussion here opens up a whole new panorama. When do personal beliefs become fair game (no matter how ugly)?

Easy. It’s what Obdicut keeps saying. The moment that one has an effect in the course of business, intended or not, on a protected characteristic, one is violating the law. An engineer can’t refuse to build a balcony for a homosexual, and a counselor can’t refuse counseling.
