Anti-Discrimination Law

DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF CLOTHING OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL

The Ohio Revised Code, 4112.02 (G) provides that It shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice for any proprietor or any employee, keeper, or manager of a place of public accommodation to deny to any person, except for reasons applicable alike to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, handicap, age or ancestry, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof. The purpose of R C 4112.02 (G), is to afford every person or individual a guarantee against arbitrary discrimination of any kind, whether or not specifically expressed in the code. All arbitrary discrimination is prohibited by it and all persons are protected from stereotypical discrimination. Class based generalization as a justification for differential treatment is a type of practice that is prohibited by the Ohio Revised Code. The standard for determining whether there has been unlawful discrimination is not whether an exclusionary policy is rational and/or reasonable, but whether it is based upon stereotype as established in Ohio Civil Rights Commission v, Lysyk, at page 221 Therefore; unless a blanket exclusion serves a compelling societal interest, a private exclusionary policy is violative of Ohio law The Supreme Court ruled in the case of Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971) that individuals have the constitutional right under the First Amendment to wear clothing which displays writing or designs. A citizen has the right to move about freely and peaceably in public places, without protected by the United States Supreme Court.

Don't subject yourself to civil and criminal penalties and to expensive and time consuming lawsuits. Don't discriminate against people wearing colors or motorcycle attire.
