People can refuse to do business with you. Then you loose money but it's your choice and should be. A business can't cry discrimination because a person doesn't do business with them so why should it be different if a business refuses to do business with a particular person or group? Spend money with places that support you. Free market.

Sorry we cant just see eye to eye on this one. Certain classes need protection from this kind of thinking otherwise, there would be no handicap accessible accommodations anywhere and it would be ok for people to turn away from doing business with someone because they are a different color or have a different religion than you. Thats not right, and not the right of a business that serves the public to interject their personal beliefs into the company.
Its kinda like those "we have the right to refuse service to anyone" signs....except you dont... because when someone opens their doors to the public they are held to a completely different standard of civil codes that restrict them from applying their own racism, prejudice, discrimination, etc through their company.
No hard feelings and I know I have an unpopular opinion of this matter in Louisiana because Ive debated this issue before.
