Title: Discrimination, Noncomplicity, and Reasons That Mask Disdain.
Authors: Altman, Scott
Source: Ethics. Oct2025, Vol. 136 Issue 1, p6-33. 28p.
Subjects: Anti-discrimination laws, Immorality, Social justice, Social conflict, Right & wrong
Abstract: Some people seek exemptions from discrimination laws to avoid complicity with acts they view as immoral. Noncomplicity is a valuable part of living with integrity—conforming actions to one's values. A fair resolution of the conflict between integrity and nondiscrimination must rely on reasons the disadvantaged party can accept. This article argues that we should reject most complicity-based exemptions from discrimination laws because of the disdain implicit in their justifications. The need to avoid complicity with someone's alleged immorality is not a reason they should accept. Accepting such reasons is self-denigrating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
