@LaDawn: sure do if they have a sign posted

"" Is it a violation of your civil rights for a
business to refuse to serve you because of the
way you look, the way you smell, or the way
you act? The answer is...it depends.
The Federal Civil Rights Act guarantees all
people the right to "full and equal enjoyment
of the goods, services, facilities, privileges,
advantages, and accommodations of any place
of public accommodation, without
discrimination or segregation on the ground of
race, color, religion, or national origin."
The right of public accommodation is also
guaranteed to disabled citizens under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, which
precludes discrimination by businesses on the
basis of disability.
In addition to the protections against
discrimination provided under federal law,
many states have passed their own Civil
Rights Acts that provide broader protections
than the Federal Civil Rights Act. For
example, California's Unruh Civil Rights Act
makes it illegal to discriminate against
individuals based on unconventional dress or
sexual preference.""

Sorry Muslims, it was Christian owned...

"" DENVER (Reuters) - A Colorado bakery
owner illegally discriminated against a
gay couple when he refused to bake a
wedding cake for the pair last year
because of his Christian religious
beliefs, a judge ruled on Friday.
Administrative Law Judge Robert
Spencer ordered Jack Phillips, owner of
Masterpiece Cakeshop in
suburban Denver, to accommodate sex-
couples or face fines and other possible
penalties.
"At first blush, it may seem reasonable
that a private business should be able to
refuse service to anyone it chooses,"
Spencer wrote in his 13-page ruling.
"This view, however, fails to take into
account the cost to society and the hurt
caused to persons who are denied
service simply because of who they
are."
The case involves Charlie Craig
and David Mullins, who said Phillips
refused to bake a wedding for their
wedding celebration when they went to
his shop in 2012. The couple was wed in
Massachusetts, one of 16 U.S. states that
have legalized same-sex marriage, but
wanted to have a celebration of their
nuptials in Colorado.
Colorado allows civil unions for same-
sex couples, but defines marriage as
between one man and one woman.
Phillips refused to bake the cake, saying
his Christian beliefs prevented him from
doing so.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed
a complaint with the Colorado Civil
Rights Division, which ruled that
Phillips had violated a state law barring
discrimination at public
accommodations based on race, gender
or sexual orientation. On Friday,
Spencer upheld the commission's
findings.
Mullins said in a statement it was
"offensive and dehumanizing" when he
and Craig were denied service at the
bakery. "No one should fear being
turned away from a public business
because of who they are," he said.
Phillips has not decided whether to
appeal to a higher court, said his
attorney, Nicolle Martin.
"If the government can take away your
First Amendment rights, there's nothing
they can't take away from you," she
said.""
