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.
