There’s no Jim Crow today, but many would argue that privately or locally-imposed racial discrimination is pervasive enough in parts of America that minorities living there cannot easily avoid it. Same point applies to anti-gay discrimination and especially anti-trans discrimination.

But even if it weren’t — if, as you say, any group facing discrimination in one location can easily find another — does it matter? Where is the line between high enough discrimination that we have to do something and low enough discrimination that we should let it go? And if you think you can demarcate the line, how much do you trust the government to do so?
