Thats not right, and not the right of a business that serves the public to interject their personal beliefs into the company.
Its kinda like those "we have the right to refuse service to anyone" signs....except you dont... because when someone opens their doors to the public they are held to a completely different standard of civil codes that restrict them from applying their own racism, prejudice, discrimination, etc through their company.
No hard feelings and I know I have an unpopular opinion of this matter in Louisiana because Ive debated this issue before.

No hard feelings at all man. You as a consumer have the right to do or not do business with a company for any reason you choose. I think a business should have the same rights. It is my property. No different than my yard and my house. It belongs to me and I allow people to be there. I'm not saying it's a good decision for a business to make but it should be their decision no different than your decision to do or not do business with them.
My wifes aunt lost her business to a fire and had to rebuild. Ada required her to have a handicap accessible bathroom. The fact that the bathroom is for employees only didn't matter. She still had to meet ada code. There will never be a handicap person in there.
