147. protected classes: race, color, religion, sex or national origin
you can discriminate against conservative republicans, but not evangelical christians. Your privately owned store is operating in the public commons and that is where rightwing libertarianism falls apart, it has no valid construction or theory of a public commons. The people can decide that in the commons discrimination against protected classes is forbidden, and your business must comply if it wishes to do its business with the public.
Note that truly private 'clubs' remain free to discriminate as they wish.
