See, i think that rights protect even those I disagree with (such as the KKK). I don’t think that you can kick a KKK member out of your restaraunt, unless they are causing a commotion or some other justifiable reason.
So back to my original question; would you agree, if that if someone is not part of a protected class, that they can be descriminated against indiscriminately?
I've responded to that. It's not legally discrimination. Also, again, being a member of the KKK is vastly different from being gay. One is a choice, the other isn't. One has immense ramifications for society. The other has none. Members of the KKK have historically killed people for being a different color. I'd say you're providing security for your place of business if you don't want the KKK in there, which is perfectly acceptable. I reject the comparison between KKK members and gay people. I don't merely disagree with KKK members. They are a legitimate threat to other paying customers, and potentially myself (being a huge N-lover and all).
