Why can't someone just identify as a protected class then?
Everyone is part of a protected class, but wearing a hat is not a protected class.
If I kick out a woman for being disruptive, it is legal even though sex is a protected class.
You can decide that you will not serve people in green shirts, green shirts are not a protected class even though the person wearing the shirt is protected on the basis of race, sex, religion, etc. Green shirts are not a race, religion, sex, or any other protected class.

Ha...the first thing that came to mind when I read the title was "I bet someone will be arguing that there's a difference between discriminating based on something you can change (like political views) and something you can't (like race)...and then I'll proceed to go SJW on them and shame them for being a xenophobic bigot who believes people can't choose their own identity."

Then maybe he identifies as someone who's being discriminated against based on race, sex, and religion.
I'm not even sure if you agree with the social justice stuff. I just have fun playing that game.
Not wanting to take someone's money in business is a powerful statement. It's a statement of intolerance. When that intolerance is aimed at a small minority, it's not an issue for the stability of a country. But when that intolerance is aimed at 30-40% of the electorate, then you have yourself a growing problem.
If the business has a problem they will go out of business.
Many places require shoes, shirts and socks. I'm sure some places require jackets and ask gentlemen to remove their hats.
Why would any MAGA person want to eat somewhere that doesn't like them? I've never been to Hooters because I don't like the way it degrades women. I don't go to strip clubs for the same reason.
Sorry to inform, but MAGA hat wearers do not constitute a "class" under the law. Maybe MAGA wearers should petition their elected reps to make this front and center and declare them protected under Civil Rights Laws.
Interesting, it was not that long ago that the left was saying that restaurants cannot refuse to serve anyone. The people full of hate continues to be the left.
It's his right as a business owner to refuse service to anyone I reckon. However, the first ones told due to their choice of headgear should contact an attorney. I would for emotional scarring or whatever

One could argue that emotional scarring was there before the restaurant visit, hence the choice to wear the hat.
Yeah -- if a baker can refuse to make a cake for someone whose lifestyle he doesn't support, a chef can refuse service to a person wearing a hate that the chef thinks represents hate.
That's how the world works.
The left and right seem to want to be able to do things their way but not allow the same opportunities others.
Exactly! I think both were terrible ideas but it is their choice.
