Anti-Discrimination Law - KANSAS

---

DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF CLOTHING OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL

Section I of the Kansas Bill of Rights states that "All men are possessed of equal and inalienable natural right among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In Cohen v. California 403 U.S. 15 (1971), the United States Supreme Court ruled that American citizens have the First Amendment right to wear clothing that displays writings or designs. Additionally, the right of freedom of association has long been recognized and protected by the United States Supreme Court as well as the Kansas Supreme Court. Accordingly, in Kansas, an individual's right to wear motorcycle attire is constitutionally protected, and individuals or establishments who discriminate on the basis of motorcycle attire are subject to lawsuit.
