Anti-Discrimination Law

DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF CLOTHING OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL

South Carolina's Equal Enjoyment and Privileges to Public Accommodations Act; S.C Code Section 45-9-10, makes it a crime to deny the full and equal enjoyment of services, facilities privileges, accommodations and goods due to discrimination. The United States Supreme Court ruled (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. Additionally the right of an individual to freedom of association has been recognized and protected by the Supreme Court A person's right to wear clothing of his choice, along with the right to belong to any club or organization of his choice is constitutionally protected, and persons or establishments who discriminate on the basis of clothing or club membership are subject to lawsuits.

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.
