Longstanding Colorado state law prohibits public accommodations, including businesses such as Masterpiece Cakeshop, from refusing service based on factors such as race, sex, marital status or sexual orientation
You are just too easy sometimes, Bfine
Uhm, go back and read the scenario. The customer was served (so throw out refusing service angle). The scenario was could the owner ask someone that was loitering to leave. Pat's "direct" response was "I'm not sure if criminal history is a protected class" ; so I replied that I am not sure if sexual orientation is a protected class in this scenario.
IF Roto's scenario would have asked can he refuse to serve the ex-con?; then you and your link might have a point.
Things often look easy to the simpleton that fails to grasp the complexity and scope of what he is observing.
