So, we can refuse people that seem right wing too right?

Technically, “right-wing asshole” is not a Protected Class. You could have been refusing them service this whole time.

But now it would appear it’s also okay to kick someone out of your place of business for no other reason than they’re wearing some piece of religious iconography. Or their skin tone offends you. Or they’re a gender you don’t want to serve.

I guess so. I always thought the deal was if you opened a business in the US, you were agreeing to serve everyone. I guess we can go back to just straight up discrimination for any reason now.

I would already be refusing to create a website for a white supremacist group even without this ruling.

Now to start a company that doesn't serve any straight people.

Honestly I don't think that would cause any legal problems.

Discrimination against protected classes is totally cool now. Unless it helps those impacted by generational poverty caused by discrimination. That's too far.
