as i stated before, businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone. when working as a front desk clerk, i had the ability to ask anyone to leave, before, during, or even after they were checked in. hell a couple times i HAD to ask someone to leave.

What country, state, planet are you from?

In New Jersey many forms of discrimination, including discrimination because of "affectional or sexual orientation", are illegal in places of public accomodation and other business.

Note, that as I understand the law, bakeries and churches are not considered places of public accomodation. But should the bakery have a table where one might sit down to have a slice of cake, they could be in real trouble.

oregon, and i would not have to give you a reason to ask you to leave the premises.
if you could PROVE i was doing simply because of your sexual orientation, disability, or race...or any other protected status then yes i would be f-ed. but there are a ton of reasons i could ask you to leave, so good luck trying to prove that i not only knew of, but acted upon a prejudice against, a certain facet of your life.

honestly, i only ever asked people to remove themselves, or called the cops on a guest to be removed when they were disrupting the other guests.
