That's not entirely accurate. Store owners have the right to ask anyone to leave, for any reason, as long as it's not an illegal reason...illegal reasons are those based on race, religion, national origin, or sex. That's the Federal Civil Rights Act. Some states also extend those protections to cover sexual orientation, but not all the States. |
