It is legal to refuse to do business with anyone for a huge number of reasons. It's illegal only if your reasons fall into certain, narrowly defined ("protected") categories. That is, it's illegal only if you are thinking certain unapproved thoughts.
Likewise a recent thread discusses it being illegal for a businessman to promote prayer via discounts, because it discriminates based on religion. Discounts can legally be given for most any reason. It's illegal only if you are thinking certain unapproved thoughts.
And if they are thought-crimes, should they be abolished, on the grounds that thought-crimes should be abolished?
In discussing, try not to get too caught up discussing details of specific real-world cases (i.e., I don't want this to be just another thread on gay wedding cakes or on the lady who gave discounts for praying), but focus on the general principles.
