1 "The Right to Refuse Service to Anyone"

It is against federal law to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or national original. In addition to this, states have their own laws against discrimination. California, for example, has the Unruh Civil Rights Act which provides broad protection from arbitrary discrimination by business owners, such as for unconvential dress or sexual preference.

So basically this sign is just that, a sign. It has no legal backing whatsoever. If a business says they're open to the public, then they are open to the public. This is now a private club that can discriminate however it wants.
