Good, I hope they lost everything.

Denying protected classes service when serving the general public directly violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. Commerce is not protected speech under the 1st amendment when you are serving the general public.

This is no different from a racist refusing to bake a cake for blacks or for interracial marriages. The current law of the land is that if you serve the general public, you aren't allowed to discriminate based on the protected statuses outlined in the law. If you disagree with the Civil Rights Act, good for you, take it to the supreme court.
