Being a public business they can't do that. If they were a private members only business they could. But then, that is if the laws are the same in Canada as they are here, which I am not sure then.
Fine line we are walking here. Shades of the old time South. No N----can sit at the counters, White only bathrooms, White only Hotels and Motels. California after WW2 barber shops and restaurants refused to cut the hair or give food service to any Asians including returning Japanese vets from Europe.
Fine line here. Would be interesting if Asians in NYC refused service to all Muslims, or Heaven forbid the gay owners of public services refused to give Straights service. Darn NOW where do I go for a beauty appointment.
Quick story,
I babysat in the early 1960 for a family of 4 children, mother an American Indian and husband a Latino serving on the Fast Attack Jack. They had been transferred up here and I was told that as they came up the sea board they had problems in the southern states just buying milk for their little ones. People thought they were black folks and refused them service. -------
Fine line we walk when we as Germany did in mid 1930 begin to arrest shop keepers for selling to the Jews.
Goes both ways, I have seen some old time movies from the way back when the Hotel Dicks would call and have the police arrest a man and woman if they questioned they were married.
Today couple years ago a woman traveling alone was arrested when a maid discovered she had a sex toy in her luggage. The town had a law that no sex toys allowed. Nothing that could in any way be considered a sex toy could be sold, bought or owned in that town. Interesting they did have Laundry Marts operating and lots of woman leaning on the washers when they went into spin cycle.
When people go into business to public service that means THE Public, not just some of it. Unless one declares their service to be a non profit hobby, then they have no say in who the customers are for any reason beyond insurance liability and health codes.
Yes clubs, and restaurants can set a dress code for customers as can the local 7/11 and Berger King but a gas station cannot refuse to sell gas to a Baptist, a senior citizen, a teenager or anyone in a military uniform.
A business that rents out beds for the night has no darn business telling paying customers how to use those beds, one can sit on them sleep on them or have sex on them. As long as the customer does no damage to the beds, does not steal the sheets or pillowes, this Yankee calls foul------Uppitedy SOB's who is to tell me what I can or not do with a product I have paid good money to rent for a few hours.
Question here, did this B&B demand a marriage certificate from opposite sexes before renting to them ??????
