A private business should have the right to refuse service for any reason they choose. I believe the point the original OP was trying to make is that a business should be transparent about its willingness to refuse service to those they find, "socially awful".

I live in a city with population of about 15 million people, and for some time we had bakeries, claiming in print that they wouldn't serve f###### (anti-gay slur). Not sure if they're still around, but quite sure I don't like letting businesses discriminate whomever they'd like to.

Then the business could say that they don't serve people who advocate for illegal activity. If they also don't want to serve dinner people who advocate for legal activity, then they should be transparent about it
