In both the public arena and in private associations, this is now incredibly illegal, with stiff civil and even criminal penalties for those who want to push the envelope.

An excellent book on some of the unintended consequences of this is "The Age of Entitlement" by Christopher Caldwell which argues that many of these reforms created a parallel legal system that de facto has superseded the US Constitution (the CO baking case is an excellent example of this)

Fantastic development, of course, which I wholeheartedly approve of, without reservation. FOA is dead, dead, dead. Huzzah!!
