Pardon me, but aren't all businesses private? So ... you are telling me that you believe that hotels, restaurants etc. can serve whomever they choose? And hire whomever they choose? Err ... no. The Civil Rights Act made that illegal. If this place opens its facilities to the public - especially on a fee paying basis - then it has to accept all comers. It's the law, and if you don't like it change it. But until the law changes, you have to abide by it just like everyone else. “But as a private buisness, shouldn’t it be their right to not allow whoever they want in?”

But as a private buisness, shouldn't it be their right to not allow whoever they want in? Why does everyone else's right always come before your own? If it was discrimination, that sucks.

Why does everyone else’s right always come before your own?
