You couldn't refuse them simply because they were black however, and if the state protects the homos, you couldn't refuse them for that either.



Pretty sure NC doesn't protect the homos.

So you're agreeing that I can refuse service based upon the intentions of the prospective customers on my personal property?

Based on the intentions? If the intentions come true and you have legal standing to disallow such an event that is unrelated to the commerce you're engaging, sure. You couldn't say, "see this wedding venue listed for couples to get married in? If you have the intent of getting married in it, then I won't rent it to you because I disagree with you being a black man marrying a white woman" as that is the commerce you are involved in, and civil rights are protected.

It's your personal property being leased to a commercial enterprise presumably free of charge to then be rented to clients. Unless you sold the property to your corporation, which would be stupid. But once you're engaging in commercial enterprise, it's no longer legally protected as private property.
