Bro, I've seen your wardrobe. You aren't "pro dress code". And don't get me started with you hanging out at the local liquor store so you can buy beer for minors!
Life would be much simpler and much more just if people and business could serve who they chose. If a business chooses to discriminate, than I will choose to discriminate against them. Let the market deal with discrimination and bigotry.
I wonder why, if the market is so able to deal with discrimination, that we had widespread discrimination? Seems to me the market was given it's chance, and the market failed. barfo
Max's post reminds me of when I was in a class in Lexington Kentucky. It was when I first joined IBM, I was sent to a sort of boot camp class in Lexington. It was a class of about 25 new hires, two of which were black guys from New York. Anyway, I was elected class President which is sort of an honor, but what it really means is you are the company grunt, task to do the duty work, such as setting up the class dinner at the end of the two weeks. Fine, I got the input from the class as to where they all wanted to go, made the reservations and got the payment for the dinner squared away with the company. It all seemed in order and going down fine until I saw the black guys being talked to at the entrance. Still clueless I went to see what's up? The manager informs me that they do not serve Negroes here (before the term black was used). I said they are part of my party of 25. He stood firm and I said, well we will all leave then. He agreed, so we left. I felt like a dolt! But I recovered and we all went to the Blue Ox, it was the original restaurant of Colonel Sander before the Kentucky Fried Chicken chain was established. I was back in Lexington about a year later for another class. The La Flame restaurant that refused us service was closed, soon to open under new management. I don't know if they were managed any better but I think the system work without Government intervention. I got ripped a little though for not having run the event smoothly. I had no idea of the peril before me.
So a business can ban bachelorett parties, but if a couple don't want a gay marriage in their home that's a problem. Ok then.
