>started excluding people of a certain race or gender

Race and gender is about something you are, political opinions are not something you are.

discuss

order

I propose that you prove it - change a long-held, core belief that you hold, and earnestly adopt its antithesis.

Religion is a protected class, based on exactly this sort of “mutable” attribute.

Oh, and the prevailing opinion in the US seems to be that gender is in fact similarly mutable.

Among the protected classes is religion. That is not something that you are that is something that you choose. The point being that when we start excluding people from participating in the society based on things we do not like ,be they opinions that we can change or be they features about who we are, we place ourselves in a bad position as a society.

No one is being excluded from society by virtue of their website not being hosted by Godaddy. Hosting services are a dime a dozen, and some of them exist specifically for "Conservative" content like this.
