A long time ago, I decided NOT to be personally offended when/if such discrimination occurred/occurs. I have made it my policy to never attempt to force a private business-owner to do business with me. After all, it’s a free country and if a particular business-owner does not want my business, I would be a fool to try to force my hard-earned money into his cash register, would I not?
Funny how many folks who ride will enter an establishment 'incognito' when they aren't riding.
I know of a bar whose owner made the mistake of telling a couple of fellow riders (dressed for the road) they didn't want bikers in their bar.
When they graciously left, so did over half of the people in the bar, who just happened to not be in leathers that day. Within 24 hours, the word was out, and the business didn't make it a year.
Any restaurant which would kick me out for being 'homophobic' doesn't need my business, and other people should be advised of the fact (and the reason) to spare themselves the embarassment and/or inconvenience of being refused service.
I totally agree with that stance. I just wish it worked both ways. Instead we see homosexuals suing private businesses for not wanting to be party to advancing their agenda, like the cupcake business recently. They didn’t even refuse to serve the homosexuals, they just didn’t want to make cupcakes with references supporting their agenda, and the sodomites had a fit. It’s not enough to “tolerate” their presence in society, they demand active support or keep your mouth shut.
