I firmly believe that this individual should be permitted to deny service to anyone he wants. I also believe in being vindictive and using progressive legislation against progressives. They should sue on the grounds of religious discrimination. As long as the laws exist, use them. Maybe people will change their minds about these laws.

His prerogative. However, if he makes a habit out of it then it'll only hurt business.

Actually, they don't, which is the problem.

You cannot discriminate based on race, sex, religion.

As long as the laws exist, they should be used in all instances.

My apologies. You are correct.

I should have said of course you SHOULD be able to refuse service to anybody you want for any reason.

No you do not have the right. HOw hard is this to understand? This is why the whole civil rights thing is bullshite. Customers now have the right to be served by you instead of the other way around. I believe said law is patently unconstitutional, but as long as it exists, I hope the fig gets sued for everything he has.

Nothing wrong with this at all. No one is forced to buy from him. Just exercise your economic vote somewhere else.

There are plenty of choices in the U.S. Just put him out of business by boycotting or not shopping there at all.

I think he should be allowed to deny service to anyone he wants. I think the Christian bakeries and wedding photographers and B&B owners should be able to as well. People will support them or not and it will sort itself out. As unfair and insulting as that was for the patrons, there are plenty of places that serve coffee (or bake cakes and take pictures as well).

I highly recommend that you Philistines continue to buy coffee at Chic-Fila, the gas station or the lawn implement store 'where the coffee pot is always on!'.
We really don't want your kind at Starbucks while we are discussing philosophy.

I was thinking the same thing. It looks like the living room in some generic, shithole 1 bedroom apartment.

This one tells you who the people were and what he was holding. They were in for an anti-abortion event and he found some of their material, got offended, and kicked them out.

so apparently the poster was a picture of an aborted fetus painted in rainbow colors and the group was putting them all over the shop

so I'd say the group would lose bigly if they tried to sue based off religious discrimination
