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).
Ok... so a group that has previously caused problems such as a gang. I think that can be understandable. What if it is just one member of the group, who is just out with the wife and kids?
And I’m not so much worried about the technicality or legal rebuttal, but what is right and wrong. Do you think that the law reflects a greater moral principle, and that it is wrong to descriminate for similar reasons, even if they are not on a list of being a protected class?
